The closest thing in this case to a "smoking test tube" so far is the
AIDS virus itself. If it was possible for such a monstrosity to occur
naturally it would have done so ages ago and decimated mankind at that
time.

This also cannot be allowed to pass muster. This statement is a 'non
sequitur' - an inference that does not follow from the premises. Just
because a thing COULD occur naturally it is under no compulsion to do so
immediately or even at all.
By this logic any new disease,(or indeed, any disease old or new) SARS
for instance, would have to be considered a "smoking test tube" by
virtue of the fact that it had not occurred before it occurred.
Obviously this is nonsense.
