Guest Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 I'm glad for all the participants. I hope that that the findings are profound enough to stop the bickering and start the process of education. I for one would like to see Monster Quest and Finding Bigfoot replaced with Nova and National Geographic specials. I suspect that all of those programs will be doing specials on these revelations. Monster Quest and Finding Bigfoot will have achieved their goal of bringing this mystery to the masses and now if there is proof of the species they will have much more to work with regarding Bigfoot. Bigfoot will still be mysterious and difficult to locate.(also still really scary for us girls to think about when taking a walk in the woods, guys too for that matter!)
Guest Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 They are already yucking it up over the Stubstad interview. They're laughing their heads off about all this stuff. I saw them at one of their forums. They're never going to quit. When Ketchum's paper comes out, they are going to roast it like a marshmallow over a fire. They've already said that they will not accept the findings. And they are sharpening their knives over the Erickson video footage too. They've already announced that they will not accept this either. They are going to rip that to smithereens as bad as they dogpiled on the P-G film. Skeptics are so open-minded! That is their decision to make. I'm not too surprised to hear this news because if skeptics verify the findings then it will prove that they have been wrong. Skeptics will fight this tooth and nail IMVOHO. However, bystanders and regular people will be surprised, and probably scared of the woods for a while, but things will settle down and life will return to normal when people realize that the BF species has been there in the woods, so people can continue normal hiking when they realize that BF wants nothing to do with them anymore than they do with a BF.
Guest Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 How many successes were preceded by failures? Tons. So? A better question would be, how many times has someone claimed fabulous ground-breaking revelations that amounted to squat? Even tons more.
Guest Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Tons. So? A better question would be, how many times has someone claimed fabulous ground-breaking revelations that amounted to squat? Even tons more. Good point. Remember Cold Fusion! amounted to squat. Scientists all over the world couldnt repeat/ verify the original claims (unless of course it was a huge conspiracy to keep the oil flowing!)
indiefoot Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Appeal to probability: assumes that because something could happen, it is inevitable that it will happen.WIKI This is one of the most popular fallacies put forward in the Bigfoot discussion. Evidence or findings should rise or fall on their own merits. Hundreds of photos have been put forward to be Bigfoot that weren't Bigfoot, that says absolutely nothing about the next photo to come forward.
Guest ajciani Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Remember Cold Fusion! amounted to squat. Scientists all over the world couldnt repeat/ verify the original claims Actually, some scientists did, and others didn't. The Department of Energy's official position on cold fusion can be summed up as, 'maybe it can be done, but it is too iffy when done properly, to be a reliable energy source'. Then we had this Italian company announce that it was making cold fusion boilers. As for the scientific impact of bigfoots being Homo sapiens bigfooticus, it will be substantial, especially if they are just on the edge of tool use, monogamous mating, and language. Especially language.

Hundreds of photos have been put forward to be Bigfoot that weren't Bigfoot, that says absolutely nothing about the next photo to come forward. Try appeal to history. Those that forget it are doomed to repeat it. Using your logic, just because witnesses put forth hundreds of fake photo's of unicorns doesn't mean the next one won't be real...right? Technically it wouldn't. You would be right. But at some point a reasonable person would predict that there just ain't any **** unicorns. The key word being reasonable.
Guest Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Will all of this be revealed in the news? I'm a believer in BF, but even I am shocked at the abilities of BF, and I have been told by members here *whom* I *trust*. How in the world will the general public respond to all of this? Telepathy does not exist. Please research this. Because one "trusts" someone here does not make what they think or say valid. Your very own intellectual side is tugging at your whimsical side. That little voice that caused you to write that you might be "way over the rainbow" is your reasoning side, and it's trying desperately to call you back out of fantasy.
Guest Silver Fox Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Telepathy does not exist. Please research this. That's not necessarily true at all. I believe that telepathy definitely exists, though I'm not very good at it myself. I've only been able to do it a couple of times in my life. Check out the new book, The Sense of Being Stared At. It has a tremendous amount of excellent evidence for telepathy. At the very least, it's inconclusive. It's completely false to say that there is no such thing as telepathy. At worst, maybe it exists, maybe it doesn't.
Guest Cervelo Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Why would we have developed speech if telepathy was real?
BobbyO Posted June 20, 2011 SSR Team Posted June 20, 2011 Why would we have developed speech if telepathy was real? I would say that as Human Beings, our Brains have developed somewhat since the origins of speech, which is close to 100,000 Years ago, to the origins of telepathy, which only dates back to the late 1800's.
Guest Silver Fox Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Why would we have developed speech if telepathy was real? Animals also have telepathy. Speech isn't always useful. Weren't there times you wished you could figure out what someone was thinking? Telepathy is probably a leftover from our more animal past. I think most of our psi abilities have gone out as we got more civilized, but back in the early days of man, before speech, I think we relied on psi a lot like animals do.

Sorry, Now that I'm back from OZ,Yes, you nailed my personality correctly. I have a college education, and I've lived in a *Haunted* house where I told the elderly lady who had lived and died there that her daughter was letting me visit there for a while. After that all I ever heard was the rocker rocking and squeaking all night long. . Back on Topic, There are members here whom I have known for a good while, whose ideas and opinions I trust as coming from a valid to them viewpoint."To Them" are the key words. I can "see" from postings and understand what they are basing their beliefs on. I accept that they believe something and I can admit that I can accept that as a possibility. That's where the "over the rainbow" feelings come from...I respect them and I accept their beliefs and I am *not* going to try to change their mind. I am not in their shoes, I have not had their experiences, and I'm not going to argue with them about what happened to them, nor what they believe. For all I know they may be correct. I just accept that as a possibility..
Guest Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I saw this on cryptomundo today: http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/erickson-project-news/. http://robertlindsay.wordpress.com/2011/06/27/new-erickson-project-news-bigfoot-dna-project-using-two-dead-bigfoot-bodies-for-samples/ I don't know much about robert lindsay but a lot of people on cryptomundo seem skeptical about his writings.
