Bigfoot?

[quote author=Roque link=board=2;threadid=701;start=60#msg12268 date=1042590834]<br />Read my first reply, and you'll see that I don't believe in it. This got started with your idea that creatures can't live in extreme heat, or under the surface of the Earth. As far as if I'm concerned, the fact that you don't believe that a creature can live under ground is ridiculous. You're too quick to throw an entire idea behind you, simply because it doesn't make sense. There are alot of things that don't make sense, yet people accept them as the truth. Even more, if people from the past look at things we use today, they'd think that it doesn't make sense. Sending information through light beams, communicating with people through &quot;waves&quot;, using fire to propell us into space, do you think those things would make sense to people in the BCE era? I doubt it. That's just my opinion.<br /><hr></blockquote><br /><br />That makes me think about Wormtongue in The Two Towers... &quot;How could fire bring down solid stone?&quot; (I am certain I got that line partially wrong.)

[quote author=RobertMuldooJP link=board=2;threadid=701;start=60#msg12264 date=1042589104]<br />The idea is purely ridiculous. Only people like you 'debate' frivolous topics that have no scientific merit, as far as the community is concerned. This kind of thing is not science, it&amp;#8217;s a myth conjured up by bored hicks.<br /><hr></blockquote><br /><br /><br />Indeed. It's almost as outlandish as say, a hairless, bipedal ape building complex structures to live in and becoming one of the most prolific mammals on Earth /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /><br /><br />You know, you're always talking sh*t about how stuff is &quot;simply not possible&quot; or &quot;has no scientific merit&quot;. Maybe you're right. Or maybe, you're just way too closed-minded. You choose not to believe in outlandish theories, simply because of the information that is presently available says otherwise. Hell, sometimes not even that. Sometimes, the info you have says one thing, and you make assumptions based on it, believing something else to be true as well. From what we &quot;know&quot; about Venus, it's too hot to sustain any form of Earthly life. That doesn't necessarilly hold true for any form of life, period.<br /><br />50 years ago, I believe you would've said that life couldn't possibly exist on the ocean floor because it's too cold, the pressure's too great and there's no sunlight. But it's crawling with life. So whose o say that one point, Venus might have had more favorable conditions for life to originate in. And as the climates changed, mass extinctions took place and all but the simplest forms of life were driven underground which, while no picnic, was a hell of alot better than the surface world. So now, there might small ecosystems of microbes dwelling in the subterranean depth of Venus. Or maybe, over eons, advanced utopias of undergroud Venusean soiety.<br /><br />And once again, I do something I am famous for; I stray from the subject. Granted, we know more about Earth than Venus, but that is not to say that we know everything. There are legends from all around the world of fantastic underground places and peoples and creatures. And while legends have a tendency of straying from the truth, many are as accurate as well written essays. I'm not entirely suggesting that the Earth is a hollow shell with an internal sun, but I don't disregard the theory entirely eithe. Perhaps the government knows about it and pays the world's top geologists to kee their mouths shut about the topic. Or maybe there are hundreds of enormous caverns beneath various places on Earth where plants have evolved beyond te need for sunlight to produce oxygen, the vast empty sPaces are lit up by some form of natural phenomena, and sPecies entirely alien to our knowledge dwell freely.<br /><br />So could the sasquatch be such a creature? I believe it's possible. Of course, there are a hundred other explanations out there that could just as well be true. Maybe the sasquatch are a sPiritual protectors of the forest with knowledge of mind tricks many Native Americans believe him to have to stay hidden. Maybe they're shaggy extraterrestrials, sent sent from other worlds to study our forests. Maybe they're various mutations of humans who were born with animal-like characteristics and ran away into the wilderness in shame. Maybe they're the last remains of Gigantopithici who were hunted by our ancestors and have learned to stay clear of us. Or, the least likely possibility anyway, (in my POV) they're just elaborate hoaxes. Every single encounter, ranging from the most bizarre, was just some really good pranksters with nothing to do.<br /><br />All I'm saying is be a little more open-minded. The fact that it doesn't make sense in regard to what you know doesn't mean so much that it's not possible, but rather you may not know all you need to know.<br /><br />And I'm sPent /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

That person should be dragged into the streets, chained to the road, and have hundreds of hungry meerkats devour him for even wasting that bit of webspace.

Damn, Andy, that reminds me of a self-defense article I once read in Stuff magazine.<br /><br />Step 1: Anticipate your attacker's move and dodge it as he moves in.<br /><br />Step 2: As you slide out of the way, pull out your sack full of angry Meerkats and release them onto your attacker before he is able to strike again.

You don&amp;#8217;t expect me to accept that ridiculous paragraph of nonsense do you?<br /><br />First off, yes, I am close minded, I accept what the majority of scientists accept (minus evolution). Accept it, there is NO underground civilization (talking about primates here, Roque, I don&amp;#8217;t want another lecture from you) Scientists use P waves and S waves to seek out the structure of the earth. Those waves would have revealed such caverns or gaps in the earth but NO. There is a crust, a mantle, an outer core and an inner core end of story.<br /><br />And MAYBE there is Santa Clause, and Maybe there is a tooth fairy. Its people like you who waste money chasing such fantasies when we should be concerned with more prudent matters like curing diseases and thoroughly exploring the Earth, before we go looking for life in space. Who really cares if there is life else where? They will never be able to reach us unless they go on century upon century expedition (thats right Roque, despite the fact you want aliens to visit us, it will never happen*). We need to worry about our race and how to make life better. I couldn&amp;#8217;t care less if there was a big foot (which there is not).<br /><br />But what do I know, and what do all of you know? Are you Phd's? Have you received your bachelors in a science field? NO and neither have I. We are far too ignorant and uninformed to even make accurate guesses or postulates. It is just like Socrates said, &quot;True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.&quot;<br /><br />*In order for a vessel to reach us within at least a few centuries they would have to go the speed of light. Going the speed of light violates several laws and theories (thats right, theories Roque) in physics. First off e=mc2 clearly states that energy=massXspeed of light2. If you were to reach the speed of light, your mass would become infinite and so would the energy needed to propell you, thus violating the second law of thermodynamics. *goes off on another tangent* <br /><br /><br />I'll stop there

Funny. I hate magazines like Stuff and FHM.

Peter O'Toole rocked in Lawrence of Arabia. And that's pretty funny.

Isn't their a religion that believes people are their own gods?
