Science doesn’t have much to say about religion. It can describe the mechanism behind how stars are created, but not the identity of the creator of that mechanism.

Exactly.

The center piece of Christianity is the life, death and resurrection Jesus. Science has no more to say on the on the events of the life of Jesus than any other historical figure. IOW, science can't confirm George Washington lived. Nor Plato or any other figure.

I don’t know about that. There have been some interesting scientific studies of the Shroud of Turin that strongly indicate that a supernatural event caused the image of Christ on the Shroud. These studies are explained in detail in the History Channel’s documentary “The Real Face of Jesus.”

An fascinating book to read is "The Science of God: The Convergence of Scientific and Biblical Wisdom" by Gerald L. Schroeder:

Dr. Schroeder is a physicist and a devout Jew. Rather than use science to "prove" the bible, he instead draws parallels between a variety of biblical teachings and the findings of biochemists, paleontologists, astrophysicists, and quantum physicists.
