Bigfoot DNA study.. proof ..well not so much

[Scibaer]

link to an article about some researcher claiming bigfoot DNA.
 
 problems of a scientific nature are,...
 1. humans are primates.
2. chimps and humans share closer then 98% DNA
3. this researcher's data means nothing

a quote from the article, "Without exception, the evidence  ( for BF ) has always been hoaxed, misidentification or inconclusive."
 thats all that anyone really needs to take away from this article.

a quote from a comment about the article, sums it up nicely , " Big foot is part human, the other part is a big furry costume." by Emmag.

 No, we can't except this. We have, on this very forum, folks whos houses are being pelted with rocks, their dogs are freaking out, they hear bloodcurdling screams and most of all their trail cams are being DELIBERATELY avoided. Can't tell them theres no bigfoots around:-)

 I remember in 1976 that the one thing all the kids in my trailerpark wanted for Christmas was a set of red plastic 18" snowshoes in the resemblence of Bigs foot. For two years following we had to remain cautious when venturing outside during a snow. One never knows..

True Story.
Back in the 50's when we had real snowstorms and 10 -12 ft snowbanks, I was driving down a back road the other side of Depauville. As I approached a farm I saw a huge set of footprints along the shoulder of the road that looked like big foot tracts. When I looked up I saw a big hairy creature carrying something heavy in each hand. When it turned and looked at me I saw it was the farmers wife. She was carrying 2 station cans of milk to the end of the road for pick up, in her bare feet. Probably 80#s a piece. I won't mention her name, but I know a big foot when I see one.

Hermit,
Could be you found the "missing link" . I'm my younger days I knew a guy that had a wife like that.  come to think of it he was about the same himself. I remember he hunted hogs with a pocket knife.

Well I used to be a believer, now I am not so sure. I have had two seperate "experiences" the first was  tracks along a muddy creek. I was a young boy. The memory is kind of fuzzy. I remember my dad acting perplexed at the tracks more than anything else. The second and what use to be most vivid experience was a blood curddling scream as something charged at me through the brush a little after dusk. I was in my mid teens when this happened and it scared the crap out of me. I ran like hell and didnt look back. I talked to bigfoot researchers and described the experience. They all claimed it was a bigfoot charging me. They each had a variation of the sound on tape. Each one sounded sort of the same but never exactly matched what I heard. Well the other night I was listening to animal vocalizations on the internet. One made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. This was the scream I heard all those years ago! The animal? A bobcat. I dont know if this was what was charging through the brush at me but I am now 99.9% certain a bobcat made the scream I heard.

Bigfoot doesn't have DNA and he isn't part anything flesh and blood but he exist just the same.  No question about it.

I think this is the same fella that's going to heaven regardless of his actions.

[Swampman]

Wouldn't be anyway to know that.  The Bible says our actions don't save us (or cause us to be lost) and that's all I've ever said.  Most people don't believe the Bible and they don't believe me because of that.

Wow, what a crock!!!

So your word is on par with the bible ? .. no its not. not even remotely close.

[pastorp]

Actually if we quote the bible then it's not our word, but Gods word we are quoting. 

Orgional sin is what condemns man to hell. We cannot redeem ourselves only the atoning work of Jesus Christ can accomplish that. Our part in this is to have faith in him as our savior. After we are redeemed then we should live like him. But of course the problem is our sin nature still exists.

It's all outlined by the apostle Paul, in the book of Romans.

If I'm saying what the Bible says, then yes it is.

I read that a Chinese guy in a truck on a mountain road in southern China hit a big hairy apelike creature walking upright.  The hair sample on his truck was taken to Peking.  The color was similar to an orangatan.  The DNA did not match any know primate or human.  The mountain gorilla wasn't discovered in Africa until 1925.  There could be a large ape living in remote forested mountains.  No one has ever found a bear skeleton in the woods, but they exist.  These apes being smarter than bears can hide.  They may even partially burry their dead.  When an animal is dead near a water hold, elephants will throw dirt on them.  They also have been known to kick up and spray dirt on their own dead.  Skulls have been found of a large ape, with a skull larger than a gorilla.  It isn't impossible.  Bigfoot might exist, but is very rare and easily hides from humans.  I'm not saying they do or don't.  I'm just not discounting it.
