I've heard this used many times, often jokingly. I think you could treat it asa fixed expression, although i have no idea how common it is. It's certainly not something someone made up on the spur of the moment, though.

if the context is clear, you can reduce long sentences by stating only the keywords and people would still understand

This native speaker certainly reduced a sentence to a list of single terms. Let me expand it back to a regular sentence

* 因為所以科學道理 (because therefore scientific truth)
* 因為， 所以， 科學道理. (Because, Therefore, Scientific truth)
* 有 '因為' 之後就有 '所以'. 這是一個科學的道理 (When there is a 'because' we'll have a 'therefore'. It is a scientific truth

Another way to interpret this sentence: '有原因就有結果' 是一個符合科學的道理 ('A cause will be followed by an effect' is a scientific truth)

People don't usually talk like this, maybe the speaker was annoyed, so he reduced a sentence into a single terms list, to express a sentiment of 'I don't want to waste my breath to explain this simple truth to you'

Something similar: 'Guns (bring) Death', (It is this) simple! --> “槍械 (帶來) 死亡”，(就是這麼) 簡單！--> Guns, Death, Simple! --> 槍械，死亡，簡單！

I think the translation will be this.

**Because it is scientific?**

I think you can use this phrase when somebody insists on self-assertion.
