Working on the assumption that the Insane Clown Posse's song Miracles was indeed a tribute to the wonder of nature and not the cleverest troll ever, some folks from the hackerspace Noisebridge decided to try and educate ICP fans. Surprisingly, most of the fans seemed to enjoy the science lesson, but representatives of the band didn't seem to think it was funny.

Well, as long as your attempting to quote the l;lyrics to prove your point, lets put some more in there to make that point valid.
Lets see, the song starts off with :If magic is all we've ever know
Then it's easy to miss what really goes on
SO what do you suppose that means and how does it put the rest of the song- more specifically your point into context?
But wait, the song goes on and says But I've seen miracles in every way
And I see miracles everyday;
It lists some shit perceived as miracles and in that list it includes : UFOs, the pyramids, Everything you believed in as kids. It goes on to end the verse with: And music is magic, pure and clean You can feel it and hear it but it can't be seen.
How does that put what you cited into context? I mean they lists things that are obviously man made, pyramids, music, and things that are works of the imagination, UFOs (because it's no longer a UFO once it's been identified) and the things you believed as kids. So what do you think they are attempting to say here? and how does that reconcile with your comment?
Or is it that they insulted some precious belief by making some stupid statement in the middle of other stupid statements and you are now all offended like the church lady or something. Don't take one or two lines out of context with the rest of the song.

Let me ask you this, I know it's going to be hard to consider seeing how I'm going suppose a situation with a mate. Anyways, suppose you and your girlfriend or boyfriend (however you role) are sitting on a mountain side after a day of hanging together and after a short rain, you are holding hands, getting a little romantic, and notice a rainbow. Do you say "look honey- a rainbow, isn't it pretty?" Or do you say, "look at the refractions of light caused by rain droplets creating a prism effect at an angle we can see, isn't the spectral composition of the light pleasing to the photo receptors in the cornea?".
I can guarantee that for the most part, how you answer will indicate whether you get laid without paying for it or not. The point wasn't that you can't have it both ways, it's that you don't want to ruin one way with insisting on the other. You can very well know how something is created or caused and still see the magic in it.
