A claim is amenable to scientific scrutiny on grounds independent of whether or not a person claims to be doing science or even knows what that is.
As it so happens, arsenic laced jelly beans don't cure cancer..children can't fly on broomsticks, and the relevant claims contained in magic book have been falsified. What would be expected to be found if they were true was not...and what would be expected to be found if they were false....was.
Your premise is unsound, and your conclusion doesn't follow.
Let me help you...
Scientific evidence regarding any claim x may only be present when said claim x is one which lends itself to scientific inquiry.
Some claims x in magic book are not claims which lend themselves to scientific inquiry.
Therefore, for some claims x in magic book, I do not possess and there may be no scientific evidence.
See, easy. Valid, sound, true....doesn't require mounds of bullshit or petulant whining about trilobites and harry fucking potter.
