Yes. I think.
I have a freind who is a girl that I went out with and now we're like best mates.
There, anymore proof needed?

Most of my friends are girls! Of course its possible! 
(I guess it also helps that I prefer hugs to sex, and thus things don't get awkward with my girl-friends... >.>)

Of cause. Despite what my ex-girlfriend thought, I can indeed have female friends that I'm not attracted to. It frustrates me and really messes with my head when people assume otherwise.
Well this is a stupid question.
There's something definitely wrong with the 20 people who said no.

If you have 2 people who don't find each other attractive, then it's very easy to be just friends.
If either or both find the other attractive then it's a lot harder to be just friends. Even if they just occasionally think about it then it changes the dynamic of the relationship.
I would say that pretty much every girl I've ever been friends with I've thought about that way at least once, even the less attractive ones (we were all horny teenagers once). I now have a girlfriend who I love but that doesn't mean other girls are no longer attractive. I don't think I've ever truly been "just friends" with any girl.

Yes, but it is not usually easy and it helps more often than not, if one or both are already in a relationship or not the others type.
I have had a fair few female friends, those whom I were close to I inevitability developed an attraction to, and those whom I weren't close to I drifted apart from after a while. That's probably more due to my solitary nature though.
It is largely circumstantial in my opinion.
Although none of my friends in relationships have female friends, largely I believe due to the overbearing jealousy of their girlfriends. Hell, one of them wouldn't be allowed to a girls house without his partner even if there were other guys/girls there.

Instinctually ? No. Both males and females base instincts are to reproduce. So even if you're "just friends" the main reason why you're friends is because of this base instinct. That's not to say you can't have a deep meaningful friendship with a member of the opposite sex, because humans are crazy like that.
