All right. Which one you you lot is really Bigfoot! Fess up!

PC,

Nope. No 'evidence' there. Just lots of wild supposition, hearsay, fantasy, delusion and people DESPERATE for their fantasies to come true, despite the absence of any actual emprical evidence or cold, hard facts.

And the discovery of fossilised remains of a 14,000 year-old proto-human is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a 'Related Discovery'.

That is an interesting opinion.

No those are facts. What you have is opinion.

PC is a broken record: Throw every alleged sighting, weird sound, sketchy footprint, obvious hoax, and hominid discovery against the wall and see what sticks. So far, nothing has. And until there's a body, nothing will.

That is also an interesting opinion.

More "compelling information", lol.

By the way:

em·pir·i·cal [em-pir-i-kuhl] adjective

1.derived from or guided by experience or experiment.
2.depending upon experience or observation alone, without using scientific method or theory, especially as in medicine.
3. provable or verifiable by experience or experiment.

Since many sources of information on Bigfoot are based on experience, I would say we have a lot of empirical evidence, but this is just a technicality of language.

So far, the debate is still binary and without much tangible evidence for either argument.

Neither the believers nor nay-Sayers have convinced me, so I'll just keep my mind open to extreme possibilities and continue searching for information.

Experience of drugs, fantasy, delusion or deception, I agree.

The only sensible paranormal skeptic I have heard to date:

Yes, the only question would be "of what". The fact that some peoole have experienced something that they have interpreted as being Bigfoot doesn't constitute solid, scientifically tenable evidence of such a being's existence. You should also read this in addition to your dictionary:

Ah, you mean these "facts" about believers in bigfoot?

Just lots of wild supposition, hearsay, fantasy, delusion and people DESPERATE for their fantasies to come true, despite the absence of any actual emprical evidence or cold, hard facts.

So wait, you're saying that you can prove the entirety of the above statement as a scientific matter? No, of course you can't, much of it is just your opinion. Sounds like you are about as biased as the bigfoot believers you decry.

Also, just as an aside, relax. This is not one of the great issues of our day, and certainly not something to get red-faced about. It is no more than mildly amusing.

If they can't produce any evidence to support their wild theories, it remains fantasy, supposition, delusion and dare I say it, fraud. Biased? Absolutely, old chap! Call me old-fashioned, but I do tend to be biased against fantasists, charlatans, fraudsters, pseudo-scientists and the gullible.

And I'm totally relaxed. If I'm red-faced, it's only through laughing.

I Am a bigfoot. I don't get out much- do alot of solo gaming as you can imagine.
We are never coming out of the closet so stop chasing us and cancel all the stupid bigfoot shows-do you ever see anything on them? What a waste of your time.

B.F.

You said it Porfirio, none of this is serious discussion. Hopefully, everyone is taking this all in fun.

Ahem. "Proof" is for mathematics and logic. "Evidence" is for science. The question is, is there scientifically tenable evidence for the existence of this "Bigfoot"? I'd say no. What do you and PC say? All in good fun, obviously.

Thanks, I enjoyed the link back to "2001". What a great start to a great movie. I'm going to rent it out. (pity about the ending though)

Cool, glad you enjoyed the link.

I am reminded of Futurama…

Bender: Look! Bigfoot!

Bigfoot believer: Oh! Where!

Bender: He's gone now. He wanted me to tell you to keep wasting your life though.

:)

Biased? Absolutely, old chap! Call me old-fashioned, but I do tend to be biased against fantasists, charlatans, fraudsters, pseudo-scientists and the gullible.

Well, your big complaint was that the bigfoot believers hold those beliefs without solid evidence. Then you completely undermine yourself by claiming to know for a fact what the motivations of bigfoot believers are.

Suggestion: When you find yourself in a hole, don't try to dig yourself out!

Haha, I love this stuff.

My favorite recent Bigfoot story is the whole Carter Farm fiasco: link

Want to read about 50 years of alleged interactions with Bigfoot on a Tennessee farm that's not at all isolated? Did you know that Bigfoot will knock on your door for handouts? Likes garlic? Doesn't flinch when you rip out some of his palm hairs for a DNA sample? Speaks pidgin Cherokee? Rapes human women?

It's all true, according to Janice Coy Carter and Mary Green.

It was amazing to see how many believers and Bigfoot organizations glommed onto this story in the mid-2000s, and have since backed away as they realized just who and what they were dealing with. Even worse, some of them still hold up the Carter farm as evidence of the existene of Bigfoot.

It's both very amusing and very, very sad.

Not surprisingly quite a few of these reported activities closely resemble motifs from stories involving trolls, goblins and other fairy beings.

I think at this point you guys are beating a dead horse … er … Bigfoot …

lets leave it at, unless evidence is given, there is no bigfoot, nessie,aliens, God etc, and save any more arguing.

Is that what you call "evidence", PC? They looked like "anecdotes" to me at a glance.

I would put it quite that way. Instead, I'd say that unless there is evidence (rembember kids, anecdotes =/= evidence!) or a seriously formulated hypothesis concerning the existence of X, claiming that X exists is taking a faith position.

true, some people follow the faith of a denomination/religion, others follow the 'faith' of the supernatural/paranormal/extra terrestrial. All are positions of faith as none of them can be proved to be real.

Like the Flying Spaghetti Monster:

As for those "anomalies" mentioned by surfer … I'd give alien existance in the Universe, close to 100% … whether they made any "fly-bys" here, now or in the past … is the question, IMO … But I could be wrong … I ain't that smart …

The following link has absolutely no purpose whatsoever. Let your imagination develop reasons, conspiracies, responses, categorizations, cataloging, classifications etc., at your own risk.

Does not compute. Are you saying that if you drop a link without any comment it's just for lulz? And for that matter, is this whole thread just here for just and giggles?

Bigfoot in Kansas!

"The gigantic upright ape known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch is not usually associated with Kansas, but there have been a surprisingly large number of sightings in that prairie state.

Take this example, among many others:
On 10 August 2008 a woman was driving by Big John Creek in Morris County in the early morning dawn. As she passed a corn field he saw what she thought was deer and slowed down. When she got close enough to see clearly the creature revealed itself to be a human figure standing nearly 8 feet tall and covered all over in dark brown fur. The creature was holding an ear of corn in its hand and seemed to have been interrupted in the middle of a meal. The woman stopped her car and was trying to decide whether to get out or not, when the careature stepped out of the field, ran across the rod, clearing the road in two gigantic strides, then sprang down the creek bank and splashed over the creek.
She later described the creature as "very broad and looking like a no-neck football player wearing shoulder pads. The skin was black covered with dark brown to black hair, about two inches long, and neat though full of weeds. It had a human-like face with a heavy brow, dark eyes and narrow lips. The creature had a noticeably large hand grasping an ear of corn and made direct eye contact before running off."

In this book cryptid expert Larry Jaffer reviews the evidence for this mysterious beast and comes to some surprising conclusions.

Cryptids are animals, or plants, which are believed by some people to exist, but which have not been accepted as real by the wider scientific community. These cryptids are animals which have been seen, and sometimes photographed, but for which no definitive evidence has been This series of Cryptid Casebooks explores the world of the cryptids."
