But I do have an Associate Arts degree... oic Did you notice where your AI bubble asked if you wanted to discuss 'non-lethal naming rules'? Several posts back, you said "No. Extinct species get a pass. Entire species are recognized by just a few bones. But not extant ones. They require two complete skeletons. One male and one female." <I bolded that last part for clarity> So, I took that to mean that you think proof of Sasquatch requires a complete Male and a complete Female skeleton. Personally, I don't like the idea of even implying that. You have somewhat of an authoritative persona here so, there might be a few people who would take that and run with it which could be very unfortunate, in my opinion. I just think that there must be a better way. "I am still waiting for an adequate explanation on your part as to why a “majestic animal” is exempt from scientific study?" I never said anything like that. I said: "Unless there is no other viable option, Bigfoot, Black Widows and many other creatures are just too magnificent to kill, in my opinion." Now, if anyone wants to go out and kill a few billion mosquitoes for Science, I'm all for it.
georgerm Posted 9 hours ago Author Posted 9 hours ago Wow, xspider1 and Norseman. What a debate that has been civil and neither party has backed down even during the most intense language at proving bigfoot is a real monster. It seems both of you have proved bigfoot is a monster. Seems like most of the audience has backed off while you two have carried on a debate that would heat metal to the bending point. One of the main points that is still not clear is does it take a deceased bigfoot male and female body to prove the existence of bigfoot? Do we agree bigfoot is a real living animal and a new species? Does DNA make the distinction between myth and real living monster? Presently what is the status of bigfoot ............................. myth or monster? Has enough evidence been brought forth for proof of the bigfoot with its own species name? What is the present status of bigfoot? Some claim bigfoot is a myth that can disappear and is abducted by aliens and delivered to Earth's forest. 1 1

Very tired. But just some quick thoughts. I feel super strongly that Bigfoot doesn’t deserve to be a mythological monster. It deserves to be a scientific classified species recognized by everyone. It does not take a deceased male and female Bigfoot to prove the species exists. Albeit that would be a slam dunk example. But a Holotype and Allotype will be taken AFTER discovery. Science isn't going to be happy with a pinky bone or a tooth with a living, breathing species. How science comes into possession of type specimens typically is through several different means. The type specimens are already in the museum collection. Type specimens are found in the bush meat trade. Type specimens are found in remote regions of Earth. And rarely type specimens are found in our back yards.
