The thing that they found that they thought was extinct was the Cealicant (sp) not the frilled shark. The frilled shark was just a very rare shark that got caught in fishermen nets once in awhile but i believe was never seen alive.
you can't say because it wasn't disproven it means its alive.. if i said there is a 100foot whale that lives on top of mount everest does that mean i'm right because scientists haven't proven me wrong?... i honestly cant believe 2/3rds of you people say yes it exesits... bigfoot was just one of those things made up to tell your kids when camping.. its completely childish

There is a big difference. There is supporting evidence for Bigfoot. Although it is not conclusive, it also cannot be dimissed.

Actually that would be snipe.
. its completely childish
You sure have a way with words. I recommend you read a book by Dale Carnegie called, "How to win Friends and Influence People."

The Pacific Northwest is also a common area for sightings.
I forgot to vote (but will). I think we have to believe there are animals (yep, even mammals that are bigger than us) that we have not yet documented.
It has become increasingly uncommon, no small wonder.
Aside from that, I ENJOY the thought that they exsist.

There is no appropriate return of favor for doing someone's taxes. They just ask again next year.

I said no, no evidence has held up to scientific scrutiny thus far and I'm amazed that even one person sincerly believes it exists.
As for this argument:
OK, lets use our hobby as an example. Every year, Marine Biologists from around the world are always discovering new species of fish, inverts, etc... in our oceans. What's not to say that the same cannot be true for the earths surface
We've only had the technology to do extensive research in the ocean (especially the deep ocean) for a short while. We've been exploring the forests for a long time and something that big would certainly have been found by now.

I didn't say because it wasn't disproven that it means its alive if you read i said that they can't disprove the evidence that they have found. So until all of the places that bigfoot could hide are exposed then he will never be disproved and there will always be believers.
When they have found primate voice recording of an unknown primate in north america that is not human that is evidence that can't be disproved at this time. When one of the worlds leading fingerprint experts that is also a primate expert has foot prints that has rigde marks in them that are not human like but are like primates it makes it hard to say that something isn't alive.
Your theory of 100foot whale on top of mount everest would be a bad example if your going to give an example make sure its one that would make help your case yours has many flaws in it that would make it unreasonable.
An example i would use to help my case is cougers aren't supppose to be living in maine yet my uncle has caught one on film and biologist at first said yes it was a couger but after they gave him the film back changed their mind and said that it wasn't a couger. I've had other older friends that have also seen cougers in maine. My friends that i know have been fishermen and hunters all of their lives and my uncle has been a ranger an the Alagash wilderness water way and a lisenced maine guide for many years. They know what a Lynx and bobcat look like but yet they have seen a cat that they have only seen a couple of times in there lives. Yet Maine biologist say they are no cougers in maine.
Just because you don't believe something exists doesn't mean you should be calling people childish or foolish. There is far less prove that something/someone else doesn't exists yet there are millions of people that still believe in it. Are they all wrong as well? (i'm not talking about bigfoot in this case either)

Allright, even though I voted yes, let me play devil's advocate for just a minute to argue my case:
Garnet, you make a great point. I agree with you that we have made great leaps and bounds in the marine research field of study, thanks to advances in technology. You are absolutely correct on this!

Where I do not agree on is the amount of exploration that has been conducted in our own backyards, or in this case, the forests and mountains of our world. There are millions of untouched pristine acres of woodlands and montainous areas that would be an ideal living space for any animal, even for something as big as Bigfoot. These spaces are so big and wide, that I would venture to say that at least half of these places have never been explored thoroughly.
If I were to go one step further, let's take on religion, specifically GOD. No one ever met GOD, but we all know that he exists. He was our original creator, starting with Adam and Eve. He created the earth, heavens, oceans, man, etc... but we cannot see, feel, or touch him, but he's "there". So therefore, it is widely accepted that he does exist.
Now with Bigfoot, on the other hand, there is physical evidence to his existence. Like both ajwiggz and Shogun mentioned, there's the infamous video that has been held as inconclusive, then we have the footprints with the primate type ridge patters but with a human type foot. There's hair samples, people's sightings, etc... All these things point to the possibility that Bigfoot does indeed exist somewhere out there.
In conclusion, it is still my belief that the possibility that Bigfoot does indeed exist is still plausible. I, for one, cannot toss aside the mounting evidence for his existence. Let's just say that it's "faith" that tells me that he just might be out there somewhere smiling at the thought of us having this discussion.
And Bigfoot, if your reading these forums, well, it's so easy, that even Bigfoot can do it!

yea... well i saw a footprint and heard a sound when i climbed mount everest.. i guess that whale really does live up there..
and scientists haven't checked all of Antarctica (sp?) does that mean Santa Clause really exists also?... of coure..
and by the way.. i did not call anybody childish.. i said the story was childish.. as in.. for children?..

Actually, I'm an atheist so that explanation doesn't work for me personally.
As for the "evidence" an inconclusive video is not nearly enough for me and as people have mentioned, the "evidence" has not held up to scientific scruitiny.
But whetever, a belief in bigfoot isn't hurting anybody just as a belief in santa clause and mary poppins isn't hurting anybody...in fact, it makes me laugh!

As mentioned the evidence is all inconclusive. Although Bigfoot's existance cannot be confirmed, it also cannot be denied as being plausible.
Sometimes it seems that when scientists explain something or if it doesnt fit in with their theories, they simply dismiss it.

once again that wouldn't make since for an argument. 1. whales are mairne animals so living on everest would make it a little hard don't you think? 2. Whales don't make footprints. For your Santa Clause theory... doesn't he live at the north pole? Antartica would be the south pole. The story of Santa Clause is based on a true person, Saint Nicholas. So does santa clause exists at one point yes he did does he now... not unless he found the fountain of youth and has survived hundreds of years.
If your trying to convince me that there isn't a bigfoot your not going to since i like to keep an open mind and listen to both sides of a story before i come to a concusion. This would be why i haven't said that i do or don't believe in bigfoot. I'm just trying to show people a side of the story they aren't looking at because they are posistive about one side or the other. To best defend your stand on a subject you need to know both sides of a story. The number 1 rule to debait club is know know both sides to effectively argue your points. Rule 2 is don't talk about debait club
