While I must agree with Dmaker in that scant evidence is left behind by this creature, that does not however preclude it's existence. I might say that scant evidence exists for many creatures existence, we do however know they exist. The evidence that does remain for this creature is ample enough to suppose it's existence, that being the legitimate foot prints that defy any hoaxing. I know many will undertake to disprove those examples, but I find them fairly certain to have been made by an living creature with such anatomy. This is what moved Meldrum, Bindernagel, Krantz, and many other scientific minds into the camp of acceptance of the possibility of this creature. I think that story speaks for itself for the most part, and that arguing with people not willing to be objective about certain articles of evidence, well that is futile. What is really of interest to me is how they are making such an existence work in our present age and times. Though contrary to some I might conclude that is getting easier as we retreat further into a digital existence and away from a natural one. The void between man and nature has never been greater, and keeps increasing. We have so little time to sit in the silence of nature, or to begin to unravel it's mysteries. If this creature exists? Well it must be very highly adapted to remaining undiscovered and discreet. If that is your M.O. for survival then you over time become better and better at that. Perhaps humans competed with them at some point, but now they are the king of the forest, and we the internet.

http://www.importanceofphilosophy.com/Irrational_Skepticism.html "We know that we know nothing," they chatter, blanking out the fact that they are claiming knowledge -- "There are no absolutes," they chatter, blanking out the fact that they are uttering an absolute -- "You cannot prove that you exist or that you're conscious," they chatter, blanking out the fact that proof presupposes existence, consciousness and a complex chain of knowledge: the existence of something to know, or a consciousness able to know it, and of a knowledge that has learned to distinguish between such concepts as the proved and the unproved. Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged I think skeptics cannot know anything, locked in circular doubt, certainty is a sin, because your senses cannot be trusted. They are destined to never know..... The scofftic thinks he knows, but is sadly mistaken.

First of all I would like to apologize to Squatchy for calling him a redneck and a dolt. Sorry. Second of all I’m not appealing to authority to prove the existence of a cryptid. Far from it. I’m simply pointing out that well known primatologist and scientists give this subject a fair shake. They do not simply rule out the possibility of its existence. Which is in stark contrast to laymen with a strong opinion. And third, your simply using a “Texas sharpshooting” fallacy to break the link between real fossil evidence and Bigfoot. Presumably so you can then insert your own Alien-Bigfoot clone theory into the void.

How do you know they are not Bigfoot bones Squatchy? We find Homo Heidelbergensis bones on the continent of Africa, Europe and Asia. As you have so eloquently pointed out time and time and time again? We have do not have a type specimen to compare to. And there is evidence you dolt, if you care to look. Your a strange duck.....maybe it’s just Ontario and it’s dull drums but you actually live in a vacuum waiting for PROOF to fall out of the sky. It’s not how science works..... science makes assumptions based on best guesses based on what evidence it does have on hand. And it self corrects when better facts come along. It’s not as black and white as your what you seem to make it out to be. Take er easy! LOL.

a scofftic is someone who has made up their mind. They are not skeptical anymore, which is to leave the door open to be wrong, or even partially wrong. I disagree. I am skeptical of anyone who hunts, or claims to have seen bigfoot. There's no solid chain of evidence that connects fantasy to reality. undermining the credibility of the subject. The subject has no credibility other than folklore and mythology. Or the PGF Unfortunately bones don’t lie. Unfortunately you don't have any bones to bring to the table. There is no evidence that Giganto ever existed in North America, and there is no evidence that Giganto evolved into a Bigfoot/Sasquatch.

Also, I would say a scofftic is someone who has made up their mind. They are not skeptical anymore, which is to leave the door open to be wrong, or even partially wrong. They are steadfast in their fundamental belief they are right. And so they seek to end the discussion by undermining the credibility of the subject. They work tirelessly to push the subject away from Gigantopethicus, or Homo Heidelbergensis, or any Hominid, and over the cliff to One eyed, one horned, flying purple people eaters, Mothman, Aliens, Mermaids, etc. Unfortunately bones don’t lie. It simply comes down to timelines and population radiation. And with each new Hominid discovery? Keeps the flame of discovery alive.

He is not a troll at all. What he is a intelligent well informed realist. The type of individual that needs real proof to accept ape men living in the modern world. As I do and the majority of the population. One specimen will convince us all. Until then the creature remains undocumented and the myth continues to be nothing more than a great story. I respect faith and hope. I being a man of science and religious understands the importance of faith.
