No, it does not. What scientists do is not magic, not supernatural. They brought chemical componants together in the right environment, and the end result was a living virus.
To bastardize Arthur C. Clarke's saying: To the desperately deliberately ignorant, any technology is seen as magic. Evil, competing magic.
Reminds me of the joke:
God and a scientist arguing about the creation of life.
The scientist says, "I bet I can make a virus out of this dirt."
To which God replies, "I'll take the bet. But you have to use your own dirt."
Quite so. What scientist do, ideally, is intelligent manipulation of pre-existing materials.
