We share a common ancestor with modern apes... not lizards.

My main idea is we might have evolved form some hairless creature, there are numerous hairless creature blue whale, octopus, dolphin or any other creature at that time which was hairless resembling apes but do not have fur since it has evolved out of blue algae.
it's better to be a non believer than being superstitious

It's only an idea, however, and no evidence supports it.

Well, godly implies that gods are involved. It's just most likely an incorrect idea.
What falls away is always, and is near.

Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

It's only an idea, however, and no evidence supports it.

In fact the evidence flatly contradicts it.
Genetic research shows not only our decent from a common ancestor with apes but roughly when it happened.
As to our hairlessness, sexual preference will have had a strong influence, as it did with the peacocks tail.
As an aside, do you ever wonder why seeing someone vomit makes us want to join in?

I can honestly say that I've never thought about that. I would assume it's because if one person vomits it's a good indication that there is an illness present, and that someone nearby would likely have partaken in the same food of the same environment, and would therefore protect their health by puking as well. Correct? Y/N?
