"WHAT!!?? You mean that science can't even make a prediction of what happened 2000 years ago?"
I didn't say that. I said it can't investigate an alleged event that has no evidence to back it up. Miracles are not examinable by science.
"Yet it claims to be able to make theories about what happened hundreds of million years ago!"
Yes, because there is a huge amount of evidence about how life evolved and how old the earth is and so on. Science can't give a biography of every creature that ever lived.
"Walking on water is a single event and you better believe that science has something to say about that."
Beyond saying it goes against the laws of nature, science is not capable of examining the *evidence* that Jesus walked on water because there is no such evidence. It is not possible to say it definitely didn't happen. There is also no reason to believe it did happen either.
"Yes, that's what it says, it violates the laws of nature and the conclusion is...He didn't. That's exactly what science says. "
The concussion is there is no evidence it happened.
"Science is about the laws of nature and about using these natural laws to look back to see how life started and developed over time. Natural science has no creation theory."
Do you think that science SHOULD try to include non-material, non-observable claims? Can you even suggest how this could happen?

Yes it can, it's just that for science this one is so easy you seem to have missed it. It's called specific gravity and surface tension and a couple of other fairly simple rules. Given this planet, the mass and volume of a normal adult male, and a few other rules and quantities, it can't happen. It can be repeated over and over and over. For science it's easy and science is saying "NEXT".
