Why not take a different approach.

Assume scientifically that bigfoot exists.

What are the top 10 reason why, unlike any other creature that exists, there is no physical evidence confirming it's existence?

As someone who has experienced a siting first hand with my Father I have always been a believer and always will be, despite my reputation being constantly damaged by it! Very good points

I generally neither believe or disbelieve in a possible existence of bigfoot, but I have to say this was a good, well written read. Probably one of the best arguments in favor of bigfoot that doesn't sound crazy I've ever seen on this site. S&F.

Great thread!

And I truly believe Les when he says he heard an Ape. I can't wait until he goes out this Spring to try to find these Primates.

Well I AM saying bigfoot exists.

Remember scientists didn't have concrete evidence dark matter existed until 1932.

Just because we don't have a handful of evidence to prove something, or because we can't see something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

The evidence will come.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Some people may explain away the lack of hard physical evidence by attributing special powers to Sasquatches, but I think this is one reason why this topic is ridiculed.

I like using the plural form of Sasquatch, because some people might get the idea that Bigfoot/Sasquatch is just one creature! I might get some flak for this, but it is my opinion that there are tens of thousands of individuals spread out over almost every U.S. state and Canadian province/territory.

I'm looking forward to see if Les Stroud can find some evidence. Maybe Discovery will make it a series with Stroud going to different regions. That would be fun to see.

I always wonder if a group of expert trackers and hunters could bag a specimen somehow, although I'm currently on the side of the no-kill policy. Even HD video or DNA evidence can go a long way in proving the creature's existence.

If Sasquatches are proven to exist, not only will the textbooks change, but people's attitudes towards mysteries in general will change. This mystery is worthy of serious attention and investigation.

Gobi Bear, estimated population= 15 to 30.
Saola, estimated population = unknown (only 11 individuals photographed since 1992)
Blue Bear, estimated population= unknown (no individual ever captured on film or camera or killed since the past 200 years).
Barbary Lion, estimated population =unknown (probably extinct by now).


The Tibetan Blue Bear is one of the best candidates to proof that the yeti and Sasquatch are real creatures. This animal was discovered 260 years ago and since then no scientist found a living Tibetan Blue Bear. The only indication of that species is a pelt found and sightings. The only reason they didn't declared it extinct is because they are often related to yeti sightings.

So, there's a huge possibility that the Sasquatch is real. But the scientists forgot their main goal: Search evidence and proof. They are way to proud of themselfs.

Great. Let's see the evidence.

It was once thought the Earth was flat, therefore Bigfoot exists. Poor logic. Poor argument.

Just because we don't have a handful of evidence to prove something, or because we can't see something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And we can't say it does exist. With a lack of evidence you're free to believe and have faith but it can't be taken seriously.

The evidence will come.

And when it does you can then say Bigfoot exists and I'll eat my hat.

One of the reasons i never disbelif people account unless they show me otherwise, is because one day I may see the same these people saw and regret what i said.

Yes, there are lack of evidence on the Sasquatch and other cryptids. But there's "evidence". You said "lack". Not "there's none". Anyway, any endagered animals are extremely rare to come by. Even for people who live in New Zeland for decades, it's extremely hard to come by with some tips of birds. Many New Zelanders probably never heard on the Kakapo. These animals are there for century's with hardly people coming seeing them. But they see them, because they are there. They are just endagered and rare.

1) the hair sample which was analyzed and determined to be from an "unkown primate"

everything else is weak and over shardowed by the breeding population issue

perhaps you should update your handle.

maybe you should spend some time researching the topic. there is plenty of evidence. perhaps you'd like to be spoonfed where this evidence is... well too bad... i'm not out to convince YOU bigfoot exists...

and you obviously missed the point behind my analogy.
