"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

Some Reasons Why I Think Bigfoot Might Exist

(In no particular order.)

- Native American legends and artifacts depicting ape-like men (see Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science)

- The massive number of sightings in regions of the country where you'd expect such sightings (e.g. the Pacific Northwest)

- Tracks, tracks, and more tracks ... and some with inexplicable dermal ridges

- The legendary Patterson-Gimlin film

- The Jacob's Creature photo

- I've seen one (just kidding)

I'm a crptozoology fan and a Bigfoot optimist, but I am skeptical of the Patterson/Gimlin film and I think the Jacobs creature is a bear with mange.

Bird, have you seen this?

Gives some support to the idea that sometimes bears do and look like things we don't expect.

I am skeptical of the Patterson/Gimlin film

Believe it or not, I'm skeptical too. Mainly because if it's a legit film, then it's a slam dunk -- Bigfoot is real, and here's the video. Case closed. Still, the evidence in favor of the P-G film is intriguing to me, and, if it was a hoax, then it was a well-conceived and elaborate one.

About Jacobs, I'm still up in the air on it myself, but I think it's intriguing for sure.

I just saw that video you mentioned come up on my Cryptomundo feed. I'll bet bears like that ALWAYS get mistaken for BFs. What a trip.

I wear 10.5 W shoes does that qualify for Bigfoot?

4. Bird - 02/10/2010 9:45 am CST

Why Not,

I don't think so, but we can certainly use you in a monkey suit in order to do a hoax video. :-)

5. Jared - 02/10/2010 10:53 am CST

I'll shake the camera!

Have you guys seen Michael Medved's stuff on this? He's probably the most well-known Sasquatch apologist out there.

7. Bird - 02/10/2010 11:49 am CST

NHE,

I didn't know Medved was a Bigfoot apologist. Awesome. Do you have any links to his stuff?

8. nhe - 02/10/2010 3:52 pm CST

I know he used to write about it on his website, I haven't been there in a longtime though......he used to debate callers on it a lot too - but I haven't listened to him in a few years.......as you probably know, he lives up in that area and claims to have spoken to several eye-witnesses.

@why not...got you beat (I am 5'10" tall and wear size 13...and I am already very hairy(don't need a monkey suit)...maybe I am descended from the original Sasquatch.

10. Daniel Ross - 02/11/2010 7:39 am CST

@G. Frederick met too. Same height and shoe size. Hairy everywhere except my head. ;-)

Interesting.

12. Brian in Fresno - 02/11/2010 8:38 am CST

The photos that are pointed to by GenH were proven to be a hoax.

13. Brian in Fresno - 02/11/2010 8:55 am CST

I should clarify that the photos aren't a hoax the costume or creature depicted was a hoax.

14. Bird - 02/11/2010 9:56 am CST

Bif's right. That was a hoax.

15. GinH - 02/11/2010 12:09 pm CST

For clarification, I was just pointing to Medved's bigfoot interest, not saying the photos were genuine.
Just to be clear . . . lol.

16. Brian in Fresno - 02/11/2010 8:16 pm CST

GinH, I thought about the implication of what I wrote and how it sounded but clearly not enough. I in no way understood you to be saying that the photos were genuine and did understand that were only pointing to Medved's site. Please accept my apologies.

17. GinH - 02/11/2010 8:58 pm CST

Oh, please don't apologize. I wasn't offended or upset. Just wanted to clarify. Really!
