Saskeptic, I'd like to direct your attention to the bolded part of your posts. There seems to be a contradiction. Why give careful consideration to evidence that "in your own view" will not prove bigfoot exists? Reality is binary, and since it is not possible to prove a negative, the only resolution is to prove it does , with or without any hypothesis and with the very science you say wouldn't get us any closer.
Why consider any evidence if you don't believe BF can be proven?
Why would Dr. Bryan Sykes be willing to do a study, if there was no possible outcome of proof in the design of his study using hair analysis?
Does faith in science play a part here?
