Doesn't the fact that scientists replicated in a lab mean that no form of magic was used to do it the first time? While the odds of conditions being right in nature, of everything going perfectly and simple amino acids eventually becoming multicellular organisms are astronomical, it is a big universe, with billions of permutations of planets and conditions. So to put it simply, if it did not happen here, in this ordinary solar system with it's ordinary star on this ordinary planet, it would have by sheer mathematical probability happened elsewhere, and we would be on another planet in another solar system discussing how something so complex could have happened on it's own.
Theists in general tend to stick to the notion that we are somehow unique, we are modeled after some creator, the end result of his workshop and tinkering before space was space and time was time. But natural processes dictate everything in the universe, natural processes keep us alive, not magic, removing the space god with superpowers theory. Creationism fails because magic doesn't exist in the real world.

"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
