Bigfoot

Referring back to the show that was in the OP, I don't think that will be a good indicator of whether Bigfoot exists of not. If they don't find him (and probably won't) they'll just photoshop him in or something. After all, they don't care what the pulblic believes. All they want is good ratings and lots of money.

Jumping off that topic, we definitely would have found Bigfoot by now. We have the technology to send drones down to the ocean floor and explore alien planets. I'd think we'd find a giant, lumbering 8-10 foot tall furry human-like creature by now. Scientists discover new species all the time, and almost all are unintentional. In Bigfoot's case, thousands upon thousands of people have attempted to find him and just can't, proving that he does not exist.

Bigfoot could easily exist in Canada, Northern and Western Utah, (Rockies) Northern California, and also in Washington state. I've seen just about everything on bigfoot, and believe me he's real.

You realize all of those locations that you listed are completely different places, right? I highly doubt that a single ape (as you implied by saying that "he" is real) would be intelligent enough to migrate out of its natural habitat several dozen times.
And besides, wouldn't he be noticed if he was crossing the border?
 
The border between Canada and the US is just the woods... and yes, he and she, and their kids have been known to travel...
 
lol, if you ever believe and read the bible it shall tell you... Bigfoot = Cane. The size was normal then, and they did age to be like 3 million. The hair was his punishment for killing his brother Able... That's my take, religion wise ...

First, learn how to spell Cain and Abel; second, Cain's punishment for killing Abel was that he received some sort of mark. There is absolutely no way to know for sure what that mark is; any guesses at it are purely conjecture.

You realize that the U.S. and Canada are DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, right? You require a passport to get into Canada. They wouldn't just leave their borders completely unguarded and simply hope that people don't pass through with illegal substances or with the intention to escape to that country. Please, be reasonable here.

Umm, obv itz dem iglooz n snowy polar barez

On the topic of crossing the border, young Bigfoot supposedly can climb trees a swing from them as a monkey would. I'd say they'd have a fairly easy time getting over the border undetected if this is true.
 
I doubt that there's a tiny population capable of migrating, it's more likely that the species is indigenous to all parts of North America. On the topic of the show, no, they will not photoshop bigfoot in, that would be downright ridiculous. They only do this kind when trying to recreate alleged encounters. This team is actually dedicated to finding a sasquatch and proving their existence, and if you actually bothered to watch the show, before making assumptions like this, you'll find that they do come up with a quite a few questionable things. Even one of the members of the team is primarily a skeptic, yet she has been slowly becoming more of a believer after certain events.

Honestly, there aren't very many educated posts in this thread.... I'm not saying that I'm smarter or that I've done more research or that I'm obviously right, but before posting you should honestly think and do a bit of research on the topic if you haven't really done much before.

Size 14 EEEE. What do I win?

I find this whole thread rather silly. I doubt that Bigfoot actually exists. But I've been wrong before. I thought that Darkrai/Shifty would be a good deck in 08
 
Bigfoot is a hoax. It's all people trying to feel important by using high-tech stuff on a wild goose chase. If it is indeed some animal, then why have none of these "bigfoot hunters" shot them? I say get a .35 out there and go nuts! There's no bag limit, so why don't they kill them? (Blow their ape-like(?) heads off, and show me the body. After I gut it myself, I will believe you, bigfoot believers. :)) Because then they would no longer have a show, after having proved these things one way or another. Also, they can't kill what isn't there. They can't kill a guy in a gorilla costume, now can they?

*EDIT

As for them just "being near extinction" that's a load of crap. They apparently have body hair, size, strength, and primal instict on their side, and some in this thread claim that they may even be human enough to bury their dead. With those vast improvements and matched intelligence levels, how could we have survived and not them? They would be able to dominate the bear population as well, so why are there bears and not bigfoots? Because there were never any bigfoots to start with. Case closed.

YEEEEEEEEEAH

Now that that's out of the way, I actually did a pretty extensive report on Bigfoot for this past first semester of College. Pretty interesting stuff all across the Internet and findings people have found out and reported on. I was even more surprised that during the past few months, there was an actual expedition going on...I didn't honestly think people even cared that much. This fascination with these new television shows is pretty funny too. They must have milked the UFO market. My overall opinion after doing research is that there is something out there. Whether that is "Bigfoot", a different species not yet categorized or whatever, there is something. Sure there's a bunch of hoaxes and suits. Nobody can deny that, but there is a mountain (dur hur) of other reports that can't all be fake. What I think about them evading capture and clear photography is that they're actually intelligent enough to avoid humans and human contact. It's not completely farfetched.

I'm glad that someone posted here that has actually done a legitimate amount of research. I agree wholeheartedly that this species simply avoids human contact, yet apparently they are interested in humans, they just prefer to observe from where they can remain concealed.

I feel as if a lot of skeptics out there are simply skeptics because they hardly look into the matter at all, and decide to pass it off as fake because that is the "smarter and more logical answer." But in my opinion, plenty people believe in more far-fetched things than the notion of an undiscovered great ape species in North America. Believing that there is something to the whole bigfoot phenomenon does not make you stupid, if anything it makes you more open-minded and someone who actually looks into the evidence before making a conclusion.
 
I have spent countless hours on my history fair on Bigfoot. 65 slides, no slides with only pics, and 4th place in district... If that ain't enough for you then I don't know what else you expect a group of kids to do.

D master is right..

^Cool story. I have spent many hours coding a physics engine for a friend's game. That is many sleepless nights and tons of time perfecting this engine. The final product game out to a couple thousand lines of code... no pictures :). I got an A on the project, and a compliment from a professional game developer. When he analyzed it, though, he said that my logic was poor and that I wasted memory.

Just because you spend time studying something and you end up doing well doesn't mean you are an expert. Your theory is obviously unprovable and nonsensical. Why is it that religious people think that age is an excuse for not knowing something? If you really want to know something, look it up! You do not know something because you have not researched it enough. Your age has nothing to do with this. It is true that the older you get, the more trivia you are subjected to, but after the age of about 7, people develop their brains well enough to specialize in learning something specific. Your theory is obviously stupid, and your age has nothing to do with the stupidity of your theory. Old people come up with stupid theories all the time -- it isn't something specific to young people. Either study up and expect to be debated as an equal (no excuses based on age), or back off and let intelligent people talk.



As far as Dmaster's claim goes, there are mountains of reports. There are also mountains of reports of people talking to God. Like God-encounters, the reports rarely ever corroborate properly and can usually be better attributed to human imagination and seeing something simple than actual encounters with bigfoot. The fact that bigfoot is a very popular myth doesn't help. People are trained to see special things instead of ordinary things. That is just how our minds work. Wouldn't it be cool to be that one guy who sees the actual bigfoot? Because of this, we can jump to incorrect conclusions and retell stories that are usually hyperbolic, inaccurate, or completely fictional. I'll go back to my previous conclusion that a "bigfoot species" is highly unlikely. We would definitely know about this species by now -- especially given its theoretical size. Once again, there are many species we don't know about, but those are usually very small species, or are underwater. We would have proof by now.

Why do you always bring up religion?

And dude, you are still in highschool. Relax.
 
MrGatr brought it up first. I hear the "I'm too young to be an intellectual equal" argument exclusively from religious people. More of a fact than a point... It pisses me off when I'm talking to a person only a few years younger than me and they tell me that they are basically too young to think for themselves.

Because I started it... Now come one.... Not problems with religion is there? Yes, we both believe in religious reasons, just get over it -.-
 
I disagree that age has something to do with smarts. We all learn at our own rate. Some learn earlier than others, and someone learns later than a special person.

Back on topic, I'm not exactly sure if Bigfoot exists or not. But there might be more of them. I believe that if there's a Bigfoot, that might be a homeless person with the werewolf gene. The werewolf gene makes you grow a lot of hair. Literally. :)
 
^Although plausible, that doesn't necessarily explain why there are reports of Bigfoot-like creatures in many areas of the world. Sure, one of them could be someone with the werewolf gene, but it doesn't necessarily explain all the others.

/speed-read thread because I was too bored to go much into detail with it all, but I will say that dmaster brought up some rather excellent points
 
What about the PGF? I thought it was crud until I looked at BFRO. I still dont believe in bigfoot, but I found the information provided there regarding the PGF very interesting.
