I know most people don't believe in bigfoot, but after years of being interested & months of researching all the evidence, I'm a firm believer. I think as Christians we should try to prove it exists. Why? you may ask. Because the existence of bigfoot would blow a big hole in the theory of evolution. Descriptions of bigfoot by witnesses fit the description mainstream science has for a very early link in the so-called chain of evolution. In all cases where an animal has naturally evolved from another, the modern one is the only one in existence today. Dogs & cats don't count because they only evolved through the intervention of man.

First of all. I pretty much don't think Bigfoot exists. There just has never been any scientific discovery of any kind to indicate their existence. Nothing. No skeletal remains, no hides, no teeth, nothing. That being said, how would the existence if Bigfoot blow a hole in evolution? It would only show another branch in the evolutionary process and that Bigfoot was the lastest manifestation of THAT particular branch. It would be no different than any of the great apes, humans being one of them.

I don't believe "bigfoot" exists. Just as with your God, there is no evidence of "bigfoot."

While I'm highly skeptical of bigfoot, I hope they find it too.
"Tranistory phase" doesn't mean it will go extinct. The only reason it would go extinct is if another animal comes along and fills its niche better. Or kills it off. Even if bigfoot exists, it does nothing to the theory of evolution. Bigfoot would fill a different niche from humans, so there's no reason it would vanish.

Of course, this is where all intelligent discussion is thwarted by the nonsense of "kinds."
The problem here is with fundie logic and misunderstanding of what constitutes a scientific theory. They're more than just a guess .

Actually, Bigfoot would kind of support evolution. It would have to be a very, very close relative of humans, therefore showing that we're very closely related to apes.
"the modern one is the only one in existence today."
Funny how that works.
Also, guess what: fish, amphibians, reptiles, and monotremes are all still around. Mammals didn't kill 'em off. That's not how evolution works.
I do not believe Bigfoot/yeti/Sasquatch/etc exist. I do, however, believe that a prototype of the legends DID exist - after Homo sapiens had almost wiped out Neanderthals in Europe, if someone saw a few, what would he say about them (especially before almost any science/explanations had been developed)? Now take that persons impressions and distort them through thousands of years of oral history and exaggeration. What do you get? Bigfoot. That simple.
Not like any of the fundies on that forum would even begin to understand what I'm talking about.
AHA! He admits cats and dogs evolved!
but, through the magic of crimestop, he is unable to realise it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
