You are right.
The possible Bigfoot remains just now in the news illustrates a lot of these issues as well. Many skeptics are already firing away at the evidence
provided, which happens to be far more than anything offered previously. Yes, there is a chance that this could be a hoax, but many weren't even
reading the articles or looking at the pictures before ridiculing the possibility.
If this proves true, the DNA is extracted, and full documented tissue samples are provided, along with continued research, these skeptics will start
to keep their mouths a little more under control before using the 'common sense' line of logic to shoot down any possibility of the paranormal.
If Bigfoot is real despite the majority of the scientific community's refusal to give the research a more thorough and respectable go over, they lose
their ammunition against Nessie, Yetis, Krakens, and even extraterrestrials.
If all the skeptics have been wrong this whole time about one issue, then the veil of ignorance begins to unravel over a host of issues.
If a researcher discovers the stable state of element 115 with electro-gravitonic properties, then all those people who need to crucify Bob Lazar will
find that their nails and crown of thorns (not to mention the cross itself) crumble to dust in their hands.
Does that prove his other claims? Obviously not, nor does a Bigfoot carcass prove Nessie's existence. Yet, it breaks the stranglehold that skepticism
out of control has wrought on the scientific community and life on our planet at large.
Researchers who want to study crypto-zoology or EBE evidence and receive funding from their universities might just have a better chance of getting
it.
Some might still object giving the usual excuse of "Even if it is real, you only have hearsay, and you are just wasting your time.", but in light of
documented evidence, one can point to Dr. Bill Nye, and Seth Shostak (the element 115 proof would be more fitting and effective in the context of this
thread, but the concept is exactly the same) and say, well if you were wrong with Bigfoot, element 115, and other phenomena coming to light, you had
better be quiet or you will just continue to look as foolish as you are trying to accuse me of being.
That is what I was saying before. The closed minded professionals and
uneducated skeptics really need to be beat over the head with solid
proof, higher credentials, ferocious tenacity, and that cold, cool emotional control that prevents naysayers from using any emotional outbursts as
proof of childishness and stupidity that they will almost always exploit as a last resort.
