Firm optimistic fence-sitter, myself, but a little physical evidence would do wonders for the proponent side of things. And that "little physical evidence" must be extremely difficult to provide. Otherwise, the skeptic's side would be found wanting. As it is, they've got the upper hand. As in the 1984 Wendy's commercial, the actress Clara Peller asked "Where's the beef?" Until something/anything other than sketchy evidence is proffered, proponents should learn a little humility. That's the way it works in the real world. Before you nail me to a cross, I believe (note:believe) the PGF depicts a flesh and blood creature. But since October '68, there is precious little else to stake a claim upon.

The argument for Bigfoot loses validity every day when thousands of people report seeing one, yet not a single shred of objective evidence can be produced.

First of all there is the old axiom that you cannot prove a negative. In other words you cannot prove that something does not exist. Some people here seem to think they can. The only thing you can do, according to quantum theory, is declare that at any given moment in an observers time some BF is either there or not there. I am curious how a skeptic can stand face to face to someone who has had a close BF encounter and tell them that they did not see what they saw. That takes a curious sort of belief system or huge ego to "know" what another person saw when you were not there. It certainly is dismissive of any witness report and not what I would call science. That is the same sort of thing that mainstream science does with regards to the bigfoot phenomena but at the same time is part of many skeptics arguments. Science does not recognize BF so therefore it must not exist. The history of science is full of science being very wrong so any such argument has little validity.

Having to do that with your "PGF suit" story too, eh?

So you allow no potential for the unknown when it comes to bigfoot?

Please, do show where any so-callled spokesperson for "Science," ever spoke such a phrase.
