Does Bigfoot really exist?

Thats right just because something is inconclusive doesn't mean its not true or that it is. It means that there isn't enough evidents one way or another to prove which is right.

Once again they have more then just a video and the evidence hasn't been disprove therefor it has held up against scientific scruitiny or we wouldn't even be talking about it.

who knows . it would be interesting to find out though

 

[garnet13aj]

Sometimes it seems that when scientists explain something or if it doesnt fit in with their theories, they simply dismiss it.
It may seem like that, but it's important for scientists to present information only when the info IS conclusive. If it isn't conclusive they do more tests to see if they can come up w/something conclusive.
On another note, I'm afraid to ask. Who here believes in unicorns? I've never seen one, but based on many of you guys, that means that it is likely to exists, because I havne't seen it not existing.
And back on subject, I think I'm going to have to rent a bigfoot documentary and see what they have to say (I'm too busy to read a book right now).

You haven't been reading what many people are saying if you believe based on many of "you guys" that because you haven't seen something that it exists. Its more that if there is evidents that it exsists that can't be proved has a hoax and can't be dismissed as false then it COULD BE possable that it exists.

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

well this whale has a foot.. he also travels from the ocean to mount everest.., his summer home is in the ocean..
and Santa caught on to everybody's knowledge of his house in the arctic so he moved to antarctica.. duh.. and yes.. he made the fountain of youth, and scientists haven't proven me wrong.. therefor i am right..haha.. i win!

ohhh i see... but this is all hear say... now if you can find some evidents that can't be dismissed by scientist then you may have something

 

[30-xtra high]

well evidence.. if you can prove the whole cougar in maine thing by your friends seeing them.. i saw Santa's footprints in Antarctica.. maybe i should look into finding his house.. maybe he knows where bigfoot lives..

 

[garnet13aj]

Is this video of the bigfoot sighting on youtube? If anybody finds it will they post the link, I'll look, but I'm in class right now :S

Ahh you didn't read it all I also said that my uncle caught one on video which at first they said comfired was a couger then they said it was a large bobcat... anyone knows there is a big difference from a bobcat and a couger. And my friends that i'm talking about aren't my age they are in their late 30's early 40's who have been hunters/trappers/fishermen all of their lifes and know the normal wildlife in maine where they have lived here their whole lives. Its not like some city people that are my friends came to northern maine who hasn't even seen a moose came and said they saw a couger I probably wouldn't believe them.

Garnet,
Here's the video. Patterson Bigfoot Footage
This video has become the cornerstone of debate on whether or not bigfoot exists. Many scientists have "disected" this video, frame by frame, analyzing the gate (walking pattern) of the creature as well as the different anatomical points as references to her/her size and weight.
The video in itself is just a video. It doesn't prove anything one way or another, scientifically. My personal recommendation, if you were truly interested in learning more, would be to watch the National Geographic and Discovery specials that have covered these topics.
On another note, to keep this entire conversation friendly, I vote to "agree to disagree" for anyone that does not want to believe in the possibility that Bigfoot exists.
Hope this video sparks an interest in this topic for you!

 

[sharkboy13]

now there r points in mythology that r possible, plausile, and sure as hell unlikely i have rated the in order[list type=decimal][*]ufos
[*]bigfoot
alligators in sewers (cmon ppl

)
[/list type=decimal]i think there r definetely ufos out there, bigfoot, eh its possible, tho more unlikely. i think ufos r real becuz i have not only seen a few but w/ the millions of sightings, vids, etc how can evry1 of those ppl be faking it, theyre has to be some legit ppl out there
oh and i found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV7xw...elated&search=

it exists as much as the chupacabras. i think yes too

 

[ajwiggz]

chupacabras!! now that is an awesome ****** animal... who wouldn't like to see a third kanagroo, third bat, third lizard, vampire creator running around eatting live stock ***)

Here's the video. Patterson Bigfoot Footage
Thanks ArmandoC. I searched youtube but I wasn't sure which one was the one people have been referring to as "proof". Personally, I have no reason to believe that video is anything more than a person dressed up in a gorilla suit walking oddly.

 

[ajwiggz]

Thats why they have experts in the field of video analizers, primate experts, people that are experts in physiology go over the video in just about ever way possable and they find that if it is a man in a gorilla suit that the suit would probably be more complex then what we could make today. They find the the muscels move at the right times and are atomicly correct for where it would be on a primate. They have found that the walk can be done by humans but it took a trained person several hours to beable to do it and even then it wasn't quite the same. If you believe in bigfoot or not people should atleast watch some if the NGC or discovrey shows about it and keep an open mind and they might be supprised about some of the evident that has come about. At worse it would make it easier to convince people that it doesn't exists because you would know what they are going to bring up as proof and then could counter with why it doesn't make work or what not.

 

[garnet13aj]

I think I'm going to check out the video if I can find it, but I am not convinced that that video was of good enough quality for scientists to come up w/any sort of conclusive evidence. I don't think that they would be able to see muscle movement from that video: 1. he was hairy, 2. that is possibly the worst quality video I've ever seen.

 

[ajwiggz]

the moive was from like the 70's or so thats why.

by the way that is one of the arugments to go against the video is that the quality isn't good enough to determine anything. It has however been computer enhanced and made so that the film doesn't move around so much. As for the "bigfoot" being to hairy that doesn't matter. If you do watch the shows the 2 main things they talk about is a bump on the thigh that is consistent with a ruptured muscel and the other main thing is the shoulder blades are visable and consistent in movement which would be hard to reproduce even if you were trying to at these times let alone back in the 70's or early 80's... i forgot when the video was taken

I love that video.
It boils down to a basic question of evolution, I think. And it does NOT mean that you can only either believe in God or evolution. My aunt once answered my question regarding dinosaurs exsistence that perhaps "God had more than 24 hours in one of his days"..however you think of your deity, these prehistoric facts cannot be denied.
We are still evolving and so are the creatures that we do know about.
There are creatures in the oceans that have survived to tell a tale, why not on land? Why not?
