That's quite a jump. I don't know my logical fallacies too well, but I'm pretty sure that's one of them.

Let's look at the logical form, shall we!
Human are a very inbred form compared to the other great apes
therefore
God created Adam and Eve.
What do we have to connect that conclusion to the premise? Well, the premise does include humans and the conclusion includes Adam and Eve, two hypothetical humans. The premise discusses the genetic diversity within the human genome as compared to our closest related species. The conclusion then somehow arrives at a supernatural origin for our species.
Given that it is a struggle to come up with even the most highly speculative reasoning to connect the premise with the conclusion, this is the fallacy of non sequitur, i.e. "it does not follow." I suggest that RocketMoose's rhetoric is fallacious, but given his good manners I will decline to make derogatory statements about his intellect.
