Science can't explain how broomsticks can fly. Harry Potter flew on a broomstick.
Science can't explain how water could make a human being melt. Dorothy threw a bucket of water on the Wicked Witch of the West and she melted.
Science can't explain how a pumpkin can turn into a coach. Cinderella's Fairy Godmother turned a pumpkin into a coach so that Cinderella could ride to the ball.
Science can't explain the existence of Fire Swamps and Rodents of Unusual Size. But Westley and Buttercup had to pass through the Fire Swamp where they were attacked by an ROUS.
Science doesn't explain how anyone can hold their breath under water for hours on end. Beowulf holds his breath for at least several hours when he dives into the lake and fights Grendel's mother.
Science can't explain how simply looking something can turn people into stone. The Gorgons (including Medusa) turned everyone who looked directly at them into stone.
Science can't explain how wolves can talk. But Little Red Riding Hood talked to a wolf.
Science can't explain how you can walk through the back of a wardrobe into an alternate universe. But Lucy Pevensie and her siblings walked through the back of a wardrobe to get into Narnia.
Therefore science is limited . . . to discussing things observed in the real world, rather than dealing with claims made in books that could very well be fictional. (Yeah, no one knows with 100% absolute certainty that the Pevensie children didn't use a magical wardrobe to get into Narnia. But until we have any further evidence that they did, or that they even existed, outside of the Chronicles of Narnia, I think that it's safe to say that it's probably not true.)
