Many religionists don't like the idea of being related to "lesser" animals, since we are supposed to be special and above all other living things in a hierarchy. It's debasing to them- although it's odd that being sculpted out of dirt would be an ennobling idea.

I find great joy in my family connection to all living things, and I understand that my species is not a pinnacle of biological perfection, but I guess I can grok why that might be an issue for people who want to believe in their own specialness and dominance.
