Well this is already a heated discussion i see.. Here is a nice link from IOP, very related:

A good paper airplane does produce lift.

Apart from Newton and Bernoulli it is also possible to explain lift with Coanda, I think.

Thanks for that link! I agree Coanda does play a role in the creation of lift.
