I would like to hear your ideas on Bigfoot

[Orrex]

11. I didn't grow up in Appalchia, but I have seen black bears stuffed and mounted

I have seen two of them dead on the road, and last year I saw one sitting in a field eating its dinner.

I have seen countless nature documentaries, and you could easily spend the rest of the month watching YouTube clips of black bears. The evidence for their existence is beyond compelling.

You are, in essence, insisting that black bears might not exist because you haven't personally seen them face-to-face, but that's a very egocentric view. Others have seen them, and we have a mountain of proof confirming their existence.

There is no such evidence that Bigfoot or the Yeti exists. None.

So in reading a lot of people experience on line I wonder some of them seem credible as a retired Air Force officer. A former police officer so in thinking what would their reasoning be to lie.

They could be lying, or they could simply be incorrect. Perhaps they also "want to believe that it is true," and so they are willing to allow weak evidence to convince them. I don't know--you'd need to ask them.
