A short column in Scientific American, by Darren Naish. He's unconvinced, and finds the evidence lacking. "I do not think that the data we have at the moment – this includes tracks, hairs, vocalisations, photos, and the innumerable eyewitness accounts – provides support for the contention that Bigfoot is real, and have come to the conclusion that it is a sociocultural phenomenon: that people are seeing all manner of different things, combining it with ideas, memes and preconceptions they hold in their minds, and interpreting them as encounters with a monstrous, human-like biped." http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/tetrapod-zoology/if-bigfoot-were-real/ I don't wish to offend with an article from a doubtful author, but do feel this will stimulate some worthy discussion!

You know if you dug in and helped the community research and solve the problem in the field instead of just beating up on them all the time the subject may progress faster and more to your own satisfaction. You'd waste less time and get better results as an ally in getting to the concrete bottom of things than jumping onto threads and calling members wrong all the time. Sometimes you get more bees with honey. But if you only care about the debate and the smugness in that no one can prove you wrong then it will continue to be a sad state of affairs for both sides. Where's the enjoyment in that?

I dont get it....why on earth does there have to be a unseen bicycle, moped, whatever?

Dang that spell check....alas, I've yet to test out of proof-reading... Though, Rockwood does have that retro/Flintstones feel to it, kinda campy! Sorry bout that, Chief! Or should I say chief Rockape?

And then there are people here that say they have actually seen them. People like "bipedalist" and "BobbyO". And several others as well. "FarArcher" is another that comes to mind as well. Each of their accounts are very compelling.

Norse the "bomb program" existed as math and physics. The nuts and bolts of it didn't begin until the Manhattan Project and they were as often as not in uncharted territory. Now by master bigfoot cinematographer Roger Patterson's estimation we'd have bigfoot in the bag within 10 years of his film. How do you think that's all working out time wise? No. The Germans begin working on the nuts and bolts of it in 38. Hungarian physicists had to convince the US government it was even a reality. Its a bad analogy.... Roger Patterson claimed that in 10 years we would have a Sasquatch in the BAG!? Who is doing the bagging???? Certainly not Roger..... A game bag requires a bullet, and trust you me.....being pro kill is akin to leprosy. Roger had his shot, and he shot film. In the Bag as in confirmation as in success. We've got it in the bag is often referring to success in a given matter. You know that or perhaps you don't? The German atomic bomb project was in a conventional two story house such was it's scale. They never even came close to a bomb, they were entirely on the worng track. We didn't need what the German's did, we didn't have access to what they did during the war anyway. You are wrong about what we needed from the German's and the moon landing resulted (von Braun, Saturn IVB to V) as a consequence, friend. Jet aircraft aside of course. As to your knowledge of contemporary Sasquatch and what it might be and what might be evidence, I might say you are on a parallel track of obfuscation.

You might want to retract that, your desperation is showing.. The Manhattan Project cost about $26 BILLION dollars, 2016-equivalent, to develop the a-bomb. The build up and accomplishment of putting the first man on the moon cost about $174 BILLION, 2005-equivalent. Total investment in bigfoot research .. I think we worked out to something under $10 MILLION a while back, but lets say $20 million to give you the benefit of the doubt and have nice round numbers to work with. So you're saying that you expect a bunch of disorganized, private individuals to achieve what the full, coordinated might of the US Government accomplished .. and do it with 1/10,000 of the budget. That's just ridiculous. Likely the best you can do, but still ridiculous. Your last comparison is just as ridiculous. The correct comparison would be official discovery of sasquatch vs the first manned flight at Kitty Hawk. If you want to compare something to the time from that first flight to supersonic flight, wait 'til we officially discover sasquatch then see how long it takes us to talk to them. That's apples to apples. Game, set, and match. Foolish, foolish Crow. MIB

Nope. Science takes as long as it takes. You are transparent. Apparently everyone sees you but yourself. That is the bigfoot mirror! You wimped out, now you try to discourage others so they don't succeed where you wimped out. Sour grapes. Repeat: science takes as long as it takes. MIB
