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

If you were being intellectually honest and/or not a fricking idiot, you would see that your argument is laughable on its face

My argument is completely rational, and it is so blatantly logical that it must be accepted as correct by anyone with half a brain.

quote:

---

you are making the claim that, among three things that are mythological and do not exist, one thing that is mythological and does not exist is more likely to exist.

---

If you can't see that it is more likely that bigfoot exists than either fire-breathing flying dragons or god, then I can't help you. You are simply too mentally deficient to be involved in this conversation. I tried to say that as politely as possible.

quote:

---

Well to be clear these people that are searching for this creature are searching areas of so called "Squatch activity" which are backed up by shoddy claims of existence that you obviously believe(see this thread).

---

I think you should (see this thread) again if you think that I believe bigfoot exists.

quote:

---

So in reality people are only searching long and hard in a relatively small perimeter and are still coming up short. Why aren't they finding anything in such a small area of land. Is the bigfoot making noises and then high tailing it when people come looking. He's toying with people then laughing at them? You really believe this? They are smarter than humans??

---

Smarter? Lol frick no. But there are many creatures (even large ones) that we can't find when they don't want to be found. Do you think they are smarter than us? Animals hide, it's what they do.

And you know that people are only searching small areas, so why would it be surprising if a creature could hide in the areas where people aren't searching? Hell, it could probably hide in the areas people are searching and remain unseen.

I would like for bigfoot to be real.

Why spend so much time doing this? It's pointless.

I think it's worth it if I convince one person to stop speaking in absolutes from a position of ignorance, and to consider the possibility that they're wrong.

quote:

---

If I say "I won't get struck by lightning today" are you going to sit there and argue with me that I'm not 100% certain about that? What a pointless thing to argue!

---

That would be pointless, but that's not analogous to what happened in this thread. What happened here is a few people said "I believe I will be struck by lightning today". And then a bunch of people go "haha look at this idiot who thinks he's going to get struck by lightning!" They didn't say "the chances of being struck by lightning are SO slim that it's basically an impossibility". No, they are saying only an idiot could possibly believe that he will be struck by lightning.

That's the kind of person I take issue with.

I would like for Santa Claus to be real.

Hey, there's another one. Let's try this again.

Which is more likely to exist:

1) a magical fat man that owns flying reindeer, can shrink himself to fit down any chimney, can visit a billion homes in one night, and can carry a billion gifts all at once... a man who breaks multiple laws of physics

OR

2) a creature, similar to other creatures known to exist, that we have not yet found a specimen of

Again, neither. Give up dude. Bigfoot was made up. Dragons were made up after people saw giant fricking lizards and told somebody. That somebody told someone else. Someone else told someone else and before you know it, the lizard has wings and it breathes fricking fire. Same with all myths. It takes an imbecile to even think Bigfoot is a possibility.

I see you have zero interest in discussing this rationally.

quote:

---

Give up dude.

---

Why? It should be clear to anyone that it's possible that a bigfoot creature exists. Nobody says it can fly. Nobody says it has any magical powers, or does anything physically impossible. It's just an animal.

quote:

---

Bigfoot was made up.

That's very likely, but that does not mean it does not or cannot exist.

quote:

---

---

That's great. And as soon as someone attributes physically impossible qualities to "bigfoot", I will dismiss that version outright. Until then, I simply have to accept the fact that bigfoot could possibly exist. And you do, too.

---

It takes an imbecile to even think Bigfoot is a possibility.

---

Nah, it takes an imbecile to dismiss the undeniably possible as impossible simply due to lack of evidence.

quote:

---

Do you believe yeti's exist too?

---

Again, I don't believe any version of bigfoot exists. But, of course, if bigfoot is a possibility, then so is the yeti.

I'm curious how the bigfoot creature would know he is a rare animal and that people are looking to exploit his kind and to know to hide out.
