I suppose not. But that seems to be what people sometimes get at when they say objective evil -- a metaphysical evil. Something that humans channel rather than create.
If objective evil were not supernatural, than the counterclaim to believing in it would be that whether something is evil or not depends on the circumstances. So maybe eating a baby is ok if the ends justify the means or something? I HAVE TO EAT THIS BABY, IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE HUMANITY FROM CERTAIN DESTRUCTION.
