Only if you don't further refine magic. What science would actually say is 
"this is how magic works. Do this and it happens, do that and it doesn't."

Depends on the details. Certainly one can imagine scientific evidence for 
the existence of someone having created the universe.

Read "Calculating God" by Robert Sawyer for a fun sci-fi take on the question.

Ah, well, that is a nut IIRC.  Unlike a peanut.

Ah! You did not listen to the third clip. The coconut is a fruit not a nut.

I listened to bits of all the clips, but had recently read something 
about this from The Book of General Ignorance (Volume 1), so I may have 
misremembered. :)

Read elsewhere on the internet:

Armstrong died.

Now we'll never know if he was doping.

As I have commented elsethread, I'm a strong believer in order and justice,
and firmly against personal revenge, vigilantism and taking matters into
your own hands, when we have a legal judiciary system that upholds basic
human rights. Punching someone in the face because you don't like them,
or because they are acting like an asshole, is not something I approve of.

*However*, in this particular case I'm *really* tempted to make an
exception to these principles, even if it makes me a hypocrite. Man,
did that asshole deserve the punch in the face.
