This thread is pointless and going downhill.

I think if there were going to be a concerted effort to "make this go away" it would have already happened before there was the current publicity. "Making it go away" now would likely make it clear someone was indeed trying to make it go away. I think that would convince more people of existence than the actual evidence would. Rather, if the e-DNA evidence shows there's something out there that's not in genbank, I think the efforts now will be to explain why they hadn't told us already.

I believe that the laws of probability are against you. First of all, we know without doubt that both bipedal apes and large hominids have existed in the past. Secondly, we also know without question that oral, written, and glyphic human history worldwide record such creatures in our recent past. Thirdly, we have decent moving photographic evidence that they exist at least as recently as 1967. Fourthly, we have good trace evidence of their current e istence. Finally we have lots and lots of testimony of their sightings. The evidence really exceeds a reasonable doubt. Of course, it doesn’t exceed denial, but that’s okay. Frankly, I don’t care if you accept their existence or not.

Not true. You could be lying. Absolutely. You could have misidentified what you saw. Absolutely. You could have been hoaxed. Absolutely. Welcome to the forum.

Its not about the time to rack it...anytime you work the action of a weapon you have a chance of malfunction. Maybe when you rack the slide the round does not fully chamber due to debris, glove gets stuck, hand slips...whatever...now you are racking the slide, correcting a malfunction, etc. If something needs shooting, it needs shooting NOW! Lol I’d rather have the first round at least fire and a malfunction on the second round. You know, Murphy and all...

Its quite possible the US government was sending agents to Nepal posed as Yeti hunters?

It makes me wonder for sure what will happen. I can sure be a cynic but in this case, with this relatively new 'designer' e-DNA fad? I think enough science and scientists have looked at the technology pretty hard. And science has since found a better method. It comes down to this, too: How long can, and will, science continue to ignore a result of 'Unknown'? In the past 5 years so much 'new' has been discovered that one would hope that scientists are starting to get the notion pretty strongly that there is stuff out there both old and current that is constantly coming to light. Naledi, Denisova, Flores, it has been quite a ride. The nest site obviously therefore has a precedent that is neither African or SE Asian. The precedent apparently is now North American. Maybe MORE than one precedent as far as the public knows. And the Olympic Project has been on the public's radar so much more than the Alaskan find. I don't know if that will help keep the microscope focused long enough to apply any pressure to the scientific community but I will bet that a greater percentage of that community knows about this find than the one on Prince of Wales Island. Heck, I didn't know, so thanks.

Here's some info and video about the Glen Thomas sighting some of you may find interesting. http://bfjournal.tripod.com/pages/thomas.html
