re: do you believe in bigfoot, UFO's, or ghosts/demonic spirits?

No, it's not. HUMANS, who know what game cameras are, aren't able to avoid them, even when engaging in criminal activity and on the watch for them. Even if they are smarter than game animals, or heck, even as smart as humans, based on their pre-stone age lifestyle, they would be unable to grasp what a game camera is, much less avoid them, which as I have stated already, humans can't do when they try.

---

There are SEVEN BILLION humans! And we, in general, don't try to avoid contact with other humans.

IF bigfoot exists, obviously there aren't very many of them. Let's just say there might be 7,000 of them... that means there are a MILLION times as many humans as bigfoot. AND they obviously don't live where there are many people around.


Again, I'm not saying that I think they exist, I'm just saying it's feasible. And it is.

Here is a link to a picture of a Bigfoot found on a game camera and analysis of that game camera footage.

To save everybody the trouble...

BIGFOOT!

Bigfoots are known to be extremely fast and have a very long stride.

This stuff just makes me chuckle. Known by who? People that study bigfeet?

People don't know shite about bigfoot, hence the debate as to whether or not they even exist.

Exactly. But yet not ONE of us has trapped one, shot one, photographed one or dug up even one of their bones.

Yes we do. When we are on someone's property to steal or poach, we sure as hell do. And people get caught on game cameras doing such things all the time, even though we as humans know there is such a thing as a game camera, which is a concept that would be beyond the imagination of a Bigfoot.

I'm just saying it's feasible. And it is.

No, it isn't. You are silly for saying so. Someone would have discovered Bigfoot bones or fossils by now, one would have been caught in a trap, or shot by a hunter, or photographed on a game camera, or one of their carcasses would have been discovered by someone. The fact that not one of the 7 billion of us has ever done so is damning.

Sasquatch and spirits are real.

Concerning the squatch. Just far too many stories of the same behavior. In vastly different places over a long period of time not to be real. Why would some strange occurrence that happened in the 50's match an incident recorded in 85 on two completely different sides of the country?

---

This is a prime example of the mental gymnastics people have to go through to believe this stuff. They find one spurious "fact" that they hang their hat on, simply decide to believe and then ignore all the far more likely conclusions suggested by the circumstances and evidence or lack of evidence.

Even the argument posed is just a fallacy: "Why would some strange occurrence . . . " is just an argument that "because you don't know the answer to my question, my crazy/nutjob explanation must be right." Never mind the lack of any solid evidence of the existence of any of the OP's subjects.

One example are the DB Cooper people who are really good at ignoring the very good circumstantial evidence of his death on the night that he jumped out of the plane in favor of every crackpot theory that comes along. It's the same for Jade Helm, Illuminati/New World Order, Rods and all "cryptids," Bermuda Triangle, antivaxxers, alien abduction and every other nutjob belief not backed up by any evidence.

Actually, a hunter has shot Bigfoot before

---

Lol what kinda fricked up picture of bigfoot was that? Try again

quote:

---

Exactly. But yet not ONE of us has trapped one, shot one, photographed one

---

Do you think we have trapped, shot, or photographed every animal in existence? Do you think we know about every animal in the world? That's laughable.

quote:

or dug up even one of their bones.

---

Bones are even harder to find than living specimens.

---

Humans know the risks and do things anyway. If you are on someone else's property, that's not "avoiding contact with humans". That's taking a risk and hoping you don't get caught. Animals, especially more intelligent ones, avoid places that have any sign whatsoever of "strange" (human) activity. Even so, it's possible that a bigfoot HAS been caught on camera (see this thread), but most people brush it off as something else (see this thread).

quote:

---

No, it isn't. You are silly for saying so

---

Uh, yeah, it is possible, and I'm not silly for saying so. Unless you can come up with a way to disprove the existence of bigfoot. (Hint: that's impossible)

quote:

---

---

Here's the thing... in most places where bigfoot may live, bones don't last very long. A bigfoot skeleton would probably even completely decay in a shorter timespan than the average lifespan, making their bones even rarer than living creatures. And fossils? L O fricking L. Fossilization is an extremely rare event. We've probably never discovered a single fossil of 99% of species that have ever lived.

quote:

one would have been caught in a trap

How do you make a bigfoot trap?

quote:

or shot by a hunter

---

I'm pretty sure most hunters only shoot what they intend to eat. How many do you think would shoot a random ape should they run across one? Or how many could shoot one if they tried?

quote:

---

or photographed on a game camera

---

Most wouldn't accept this as proof anyway. See this thread.

quote:

---

or one of their carcasses would have been discovered by someone.

---

You think that, out in the wilderness, a person would ever, EVER discover a bigfoot carcass before it was either buried or another animal ate it? I don't hunt, so maybe this is a question for the hunters: how often do you run across a deer carcass? Is it common? Rarely? Never? Now imagine an animal that is probably 10,000 times rarer.

The fact that not one of the 7 billion of us has ever done so is damning.

It's not damning, especially considering very, very few of those 7 billion have ever actually actively searched for bigfoot. It is extremely unlikely that anyone would ever notice a trace of a bigfoot going about their daily lives. Someone would have to look, and look hard and for a long time, and get very lucky.

I believe that aliens exist. There are just too many other worlds for them not too. In fact it's borderline selfish to think we are alone in the universe.

I am not sure about UFOs.

I'm pretty certain Bigfoot is a hoax, as it's just not that wild in that part of the country for something that big to go unnoticed.

Gonna tell me we can find all these animals in the amazon and africa and can't find giant primates in the PNW?


Ghosts I don't believe in. Yet I was in a house alone that was built on a battlefield near cold harbor and at night I heard people talking in really country accents. I went all around the house, but only heard them when I was near the air vent. I thought I was going crazy and then the homeowner told me that it happened all the time.
