Is that what I said? Please quote.
The fact is this form of selective mutation does not leave the markers of genetic engineering, as cited as supposed proof that this virus was not created in a lab. This is evidence against it being genetically engineered
You provided no evidence that it was made in a lab. While you did not say "there is no evidence that the virus was made in a lab" verbatim, you did at least acquiesce to admit there is evidence
against it being made in a lab.
You're going to say, well it could have been made in a lab in a way that has so far fooled hundreds of trained scientists into thinking that it was not. I'm saying neither one of us knows that for sure. Most people who have some to a large degree of expertise on the matter argue that either we don't know the origins or that it has natural origins (as in purely natural and not manipulated in a laboratory in any way):
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/03/200317175442.htmAn analysis of public genome sequence data from SARS-CoV-2 and related viruses found no evidence that the virus was made in a laboratory or otherwise engineered.

This outbreak was naturally occurring, arising from a still unidentified animal or more than one animal species. This coronavirus then infected humans and most likely over several months, e.g., between September and December, was able to acquire the ability to be transmitted from human-to-human. Whether it began in Wuhan, elsewhere in Hubei province or in China remains to be proven.
https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/theory-that-coronavirus-escaped-from-a-lab-lacks-evidence-67229The pathogen appears to have come from wild animals, virologists say, and there are no signs of genetic manipulation in the SARS-CoV-2 genome.
Just for fun, here's an excerpt from that same reference that helps your conspiracy theory:
Mosher agrees that animals were the likely origin. That doesnt mean [the virus] wasnt collected, brought to the lab, and was being tested on in various ways, and escaped from the lab, he says. Mosher also does not claim that China genetically engineered the virus. Im not saying this has been genetically engineered to be a bioweapon thats escaped from the lab. . . . Im just saying that [China is] collecting dangerous pathogens, [and] they have a history of letting them escape from the lab, he says.
(he is also the guy that wrote
this article... still not exactly the same thing as "likely a bio-weapon", however)
What evidence do you have or does
anybody has that it was made in a lab? What evidence do you have that anybody with any sort of medical or scientific background thinks that it was?
