>How do they contradict reason?<

Let's go back to your original statement if you are intent on being obtuse.

>If I could not reconcile my faith with science, then I would conclude that my faith is false. Faith cannot contradict reason.<

Reconcile the resurrection and water to wine with science.And just for fun explain why these events are any more scientificly "reasonable" than a 6 day creation.

Is it outside of reason to believe that the Creator of the universe can rearrange matter as He sees fit? If you said you could turn water into wine on your own fiat, that would be unreasonable. To say God can do it is not.

In the case of water into wine, we are provided with evidence, namely the wine that proves the miracle occured.

In the case of a young earth brought into being in 6 literal days, we are left with evidence which contradicts. It is not reasonable to think God planted fake dinosaur fossils that appear milions of years old, created stratas in the earth's layers, etc. just for a laugh.

You want God to be One who says "don't trust your eyes or ears or your senses and what they reveal about what I have created. Trust what I tell you otherwise."

We believe God says "Your observations of nature lead you to Me."

Gladly. There's no scientific evidence that they did not happen. Nothing in science rules out the possibility that there is a God who on relatively rare occaisions does things that violate the laws of nature.

And just for fun explain why these events are any more scientificly "reasonable" than a 6 day creation.

Gladly. There are mountains of physical evidence that rule out a literal, 6 day creation, wherein days are literal 24 human hours. There is no evidence that rules out the miracles recorded in the Gospels.
