I would have to disagree. This is EXACTLY what science does.

It takes an observed event (we will leave aside the credibility of the
event) and tries to find an explanation. It then tries to predict
future behaviors and repeat it.

You are right, we will never be able to prove that this is how Jesus
did it, but it gives an alternate, non miracle-based explanation. It
also lets us know it may be possible to do something very similar
ourselves someday.

I think it is pretty cool.

To me it is very similar to archaeology, and trying to find the
scientific verification to stories and myths.

Like reading sailors reports of mermaids. Were they really mermaids
(half woman, half fish), or were they manatees, or just the active
imagination of tired men crammed together too close, or something we
don't know about yet.

Or the legends of Atlantis.
