CreationWiki response:

Talk.Origins is really scraping the bottom of the barrel for this one. The statement made by Rev Sun Myung Moon wasn't meant to be a argument, so this is clearly a straw man.

Note: Rev Sun Myung Moon is not a Biblical creationist but is very close to being a New Ager.

(Talk.Origins quotes in blue)

A) What Yoruba tradition says is irrelevant, since it is not part of the tradition of the church.

B) The problem with having humanity descending from apes is that it would strongly imply that we are animals too. That would mean it would be OK to cheat and lie as long as it doesn’t effect the social structure.

It is also contrary to the evidence and the Bible.
