Couldn't it be that when people reject the premise of the evidence, the evidence becomes zero no matter what? The effect the evidence has on people or science as a whole is not necessarily the truth of the matter. It only matters when people need the whole of science to acknowledge it first. I don't need science to tell me what the evidence says, at least until they really study it. Skeptics and proponents alike think there should be better science applied to the evidence, but you don't see science wanting to do it very often. I blame that on the first sentence in this post. Truth will predict the future every time and the evidence will repeat itself when there is a legitimate creature responsible for it, so citing this as some kind of negative is actually anti-science. It's funny that you ask for this in the best evidence thread, because that's what happens with real evidence, then you flip around and call it self defeating in this one.

Yes.

Reading some of the comments here it's clear why BF is a breeding ground for so many hoaxers. SO's 'evidence' is possibly the flimsiest and frankly laughable I've come across. But still the hard-core hab set not only think it is viable, but will defend it vigorously. 'Fringe' subjects attract all sorts of strange people. It goes with the territory. Indeed everytime I attend a BF or UFO conference I need to fight the urge to flee when I first arrive! Being open minded is great. Being intensely gullible is much less so. Habsters - try thinking for yourself. This 'hive-mind' you guys seem to have isn't healthy. Believers can and should be as much of a 'Critical Thinker' as your common garden variety skeptic. Let's clean BF up.
