In what way does our genetic similarities imply our relation is certain? I'm not necessarily saying that we didnt come from a common ancestor. I'm just saying that the points you are making do not provide sufficient evidence.

Well you didnt mention that earlier silly :P I was just pointing out that genetic similarities dont prove common ancestry. I'm sorry. I just like to play the devil's advocate

Stop with your strawman arguments. It is not that we share a common ancestor simply because there are genetic similarities, but that the genetic similarities, differences and the pattern that emerges when studying this is in such a way that only universal common descent can explain this.
