Does God only work through Magic?

Does God only work through Magic?
That seems to be a 'learn-ed' man's silly perception. That once 'science' can explain a 'natural phemona' works it can no longer be of God. My question to you is why is that? Why can't 'science' be the how God does what He does, rather than the so called 'proof' their is no God?

If you think about it for a moment God is the creator of the NATURAL Universe. Which means He would have been the being who put all of the laws that govern how everything works into place. The same laws we are recording and giving our own names and titles to. So if this is the case why would God create a universe that He has to move or circumvent the natural laws inorder to make something happen. Not to say God can circumvent the natural world, if He wanted, but why would you create something that you have to circumvent everytime you want something done??? If it is in your power to create something that will only in the end lend itself to you and your end game wouldn't that be smarter?

Let's say God did that very thing. that He created the universe we the laws and processes that we will eventually come to know, label and eventually manipulate our selves to some degree. Does the fact that man will eventually understand the processes of God mean that the men in the time of the bible would understand how God does what He does? Does it mean the priest of the dark ages will understand how God does what He does? And does this somehow ultimately mean that once we begin to understand how God does what He does that some how this precludes the existence of God?

Their is a 'preacher' story I once heard that illustrates this idea well. It is about 3 mice who lived in the home of a master pianist. here is the summary:
 When the fist mouse in he thought the house was just magical and would produce wonderful music on it's own.

Then the second mouse came along did not accept the magic house answer and went exploring and found the piano, he went back and scoffed at the first mouse and said it wasn't magic it was this big black cabinet that was producing the music.

Then the third mouse came along and not satasifed with what the first to mice found went to this big black cabinet and went in side when the music was playing to see row after row of tightly wound strings being struck by a series of small wooden hammers. He watch this process of hammers hitting strings for hours. Now full convinced he had found the absolute source of the music he went back and ridiculed the first two mice for their ignorance, and then went on to describe the inner workings of the piano in great detail.

Of the three which mouse had it 'right?'

None of them did. Even after the third mouse's complete observation of the inner workings of said piano he was not any closer to the source of the music than the other two. In the end the third mouse could only describe the mechanism use by the source of the music to produce it. 'Science' or rather the idea that 'science' disproves or removes God from how things work is that third mouse.
