Belief in Bigfoot

[Master Shake]

My apologies...I forget that I'm talking to the Zoo keeper...

Anyway we will find Bigfoot and you'll have to listen to the "I told you so"...

You are talking to an archaeologist who actually knows those myths and the cultural background of them, and has worked with a significant number of anthropologists from the other subdisciplines who know even more on the subject (From cultural anthropologists going into significant detail on the stories, to physical anthropologists going into painstaking detail on the complete falsehood proposed by Bigfoot "hunters"). I am not saying this trying to portray myself as an authority, but my background has given more than enough information to call Bigfoot as nothing but a complete fabrication.

And not only that, but you are not even providing a counter argument at all to anything I said aside from a snide and meaningless remark.

As an archaeologist, I highly doubt you'd except anything as proof unless it were Bigfoot himself.

Actual physical evidence that was taken in an actual scientific manner by a group of people who are not largely known to be full of hoaxers would at least be a good start.

And not fabricating shoddy interpretation of cultural myths that one doesn't actually know would also help.

In other words, some actual intellectual honesty among the proponents. It's a very, very tall order with Bigfoot hunters.

Well, that's pretty much the point. Bigfoot, or a piece of bigfoot, or something else that can be tested and proven.

[United Russian Soviet States]

Bigfoot may exist. It may be an undiscovered primate species.

Yeah good luck getting a piece of Bigfoot. He is like 7ft tall and would kill you if you looked at him wrong.

So yeah if you want to chop off his foot be my guest, but I'll settle for hair samples and dung...

[Stormaen]

Also there are myths from olden days that native peoples would talk about, but I guess that isn't proof....

Those myths are massive bastardized interpretations of the stories. Those myths and stories told by natives were rather explicitly about bears. The confusion lies in the fact that native myth and legend would often call bears as "old men", and treated them as being just as intelligent as people. There is no mystery in the stories. Only people who know jack shit about native mythology and oral tradition interpreting stories from concepts they don't know and don't care to know think it's about some sort of Ape-like being.

Let me be blunt: Big foot hunters know jack all about the "evidence" they are fronting. They don't understand the oral traditions they levy, they don't understand primate behavior and biology, they don't have a basic understanding of ecosystems and diets of any primates, and they don't care to know. All of their assumptions are based on complete fabrications and falsehood because they are intellectually lazy.

Well bloody said, Seangoli!

First off, hair samples and dung are things that can be tested and proven.
Second, I don't think Bigfoot's stature would help much against a hunter with a rifle.

1. okay

2. Bigfoots travel in packs as evident by their howls.

Watch the final scene of the many documentaries out there. =P

Bones would work. But there are no bones...

Ironically enough wolves like to eat bones and Bigfoot meat. I mean a dead animal is always an easier meal.

If that were true we wouldn't find bones of anything. This shows that it is not true.

But those are normal bones! Clearly Bigfoot bones are made from wolf candy.

That situation isn't even ironic... I find the misuse of irony more offensive than the misuse of logic to justify the existence of a mythical being.

[Ifreann]

Bigfoot may exist. It may be an undiscovered primate species.

Unicorns may exist as an undiscovered equine species.

[Azaflaza]

Bigfoot sightings are more likely to be a case of mistaken identity. Is it simply a coincidence that most Bigfoot sightings occur in the natural range of North American bear species? I think not.

1. Wolves don't exactly eat bones. They chew on them, break them open and eat the marrow, but they don't really digest the bones.
2. Evidence of bigfoot meat in the stomach contents of wolves?

Except the ones that are obvious fakes made by people who are looking for attention...

I'm loving the final act of this thread.

Clearly, bigfeet bury their dead in deep graves with elaborate mourning rituals.

[The Nuclear Fist]

I really wish Bigfoot was real. It's a shame its not.

How so?

How so?

Being able to go to the zoo and see a giant, bipedal ape man would be pretty nice. I love the Great Ape family.

It's all fun and games until the animals start flinging shit and masturbating.
