Come back when you can say with a straight face that no one has found a bear corpse and you may be on to something. The fact that *one guy *hasn’t seen a bear corpse is interesting but not in the slightest bit definitive.
Bears are hit by cars all the time!
Where is the Bigfoot roadkill, & will rednecks make a ragout of it? 
As I have pointed out in earlier Threads, all large Primates that we know of live in environments that are extremely rich in fruit, & they share those environments with monkeys & other closely related species.
Now there are native monkeys in South America, but none in North America. There isn’t enough native fruit to sustain a population here.
If small monkeys can get enough grub to hack it here, how could a 1000 pound mudsucker like Bigfoot hack it?
No Bigfoot.
I heard a radio interview with a guy who took the approach of not answering the question “Does Bigfoot exist?” but “Could Bigfoot exist?” and wrote a book on the subject (don’t remember the title or author though).
His conclusion was that currently no proof exists to support the existance of such an animal, however the conditions are such that it would be possible for a very small population of such a creature to be alive and undetected.
Another thing that really bugs me is when people say it’s in Native American myths like that means it has to be true. Have these same people read those myths and think they are more real than the Norse or Greek myths? The animals talk to people for Christ sake. The only people I know that hear talking coyotes are on drugs or insane.
Actually, there was a really interesting special on the Hitler Channel awhile ago about this…
There was a folklorist who studied the pan-European and Central Asian legends of griffins/gryphons/griffens, and discovered that they seemed to stem from a specific region of the Hindu Kush. The area was full of gold deposits, and also full of fossils, many of which were a beaked ceratopsian (dinosaur). The complete fossils looked incredibly similar to the traditional artistic representations of griffins, so she concluded that the legends were, in fact, based on actual fossil evidence.
Well Homer simspson talked to a coyote. And it sopunded like Johnny Cash.
He was also under the influence of Guatemalan Insanity Pepper at the time.
What cable plan are you on? :eek:
Brighthouse Networks (Time Warner).
If you are the type of person who takes witness testimony at face value, then yes, Bigfoot is real. Because thousands of people have seen one, some have video taped him. For the skeptics in the world, that isn’t good enough for some reason, yet in other areas, witness testimony and video can send someone to the electric chair. Funny how it works.
You can say you saw a large, hairy creature running around in forests that haven’t been explored yet, take pictures of it, video and even plaster casts of it’s footprints and nobody will believe you, you’ll even get laughed at.
Yet you can turn around and say you saw Bob Jones (whom has never been violent, no criminal history and has been an overall nice guy) loading his truck up with a large box that had blood seeping out of it and he can get the death penalty when there is no body and only circumstantial evidence.
Some will come on here and say, “yeah, but the Bigfoot isn’t this… and a murder is different because…yada yada”. No. There is no difference, seeing something is seeing something. Scientists can spend their WHOLE LIVES working on ONE THEORY and never prove it positive and they aren’t ridiculed one bit.
But when someone comes along like a Bigfoot hunter, automatically they’re crazy and since there is no physical body of a Bigfoot, they’re fighting a lost cause and there is no such thing. Right…who’s to say Bigfoot’s don’t bury their dead? Maybe they are intelligent enough to do that. Who’s to say they aren’t extra-terrestrial? Can you prove that to NOT BE TRUE?
I have to add, there are new species being discovered daily. So just keep an open mind. It may seem silly to some, but tell that to the people who’ve witnessed them in the woods and had their lives forever changed. Because not everyone is a liar.
Can you prove that you don’t rape little boys?
I knew you would say that. Therefore, your argument is invalid.
But Bob’s on trial in Alabama. Makes a big difference.
You don’t appear to understand the concept of circumstantial evidence.
Cite? I’m sure plenty of scientists who fit your description are mocked, and are not even considered to be scientists by the mainstream.
I don’t think Dr. Frankenstein was the featured speaker at any conventions, even before he made his monster.
I’m going to assume you got swept up in what you thought was a great rhetorical flourish and forgot what forum you were in, and also what message board you were on. Next time, remember: Not okay. Do not do again.

It all boils down to physical evidence.
Not a living Big foot or corpse of same, but as noted earlier, hair, droppings and such that match no known DNA.
Despite numerous claims, no such evidence has ever been verified.
Additionally, the point made about the food requirements of a large primate are valid. A critter that big requires a lot of food, and hence a large territory to forage in, even if it is an omnivoir. A grizzly bear would mass about the same, and as I understand it they require a very large territory (on the scale of several square miles).

I wear size 16 shoes, and am pretty hairy… do I get a reward if I turn myself in?
Only if they get to dissect your body.
I’ve been told it hurts quite a bit.
I see I’m not the only person to come up with this objection. You could just maybe say that people are hiding or misinterpreting the bones, but the lack of stories from American Indians about the giant hairy people seals the deal for me.
Oh, and the film was faked.
