Description

There has been debate for some time but has become a popular topic since the 1950s. there have been multiple claims that are mostly based on personal experience. These are difficult to validate. The activity of validation of the claim appears to be questionable and appears to be hopeful wishing.

My CON point is that if such a large animal exists in a somewhat populated area (yes I know not heavily populated) is strange as you would expect that it would be a common occurrence. You see bears all the time in the woods so why not these bigfoot? There would have to be a decent population for them to exist for the period of time that they would have existed.

I want to know why these creatures are not seen on a regular basis based on the aspect of their size and time they have been reported.

Simply enough. There has been no concrete evidence that a bigfoot exists. It is always someone indicating they saw something but there is no evidence. There have people who have come with things like hair but after evaluation it was proven that the hair is from a known animal. Do you have concrete evidence that a bigfoot exists?

Are you going to provide proof? Or an explanation that will give an absolute proof?

If not can you refute my claim and any problems with it?

Bigfoot exists. I have seen him.

Besides, you are asking for evidence, but this debate isnt about evidence, but about if Bigfoot exists or not.

Things can exist even if there is no evidence for them, so evidence is irrelevant to this debate.

   Prove it

Besides, you are asking for evidence, but this debate isnt about evidence, but about if Bigfoot exists or not.
  And what would you do to prove the existence?

Things can exist even if there is no evidence for them, so evidence is irrelevant to this debate.
  Evidence is relevant - it is what is expected - the fact that you do not want to provide does not make it invalid

My position is that big foot exists. As long as you cant prove that he doesnt, it stands that he can exist so my position is at least 50% proven.

But here, I will even provide video evidence of big foot:

 - I do not need to prove he does not exist - you prove he has to exist - you are the one making the declaration - I am just indicating I do not believe you

But here, I will even provide video evidence of big foot:

  ya funny -  if you choose not to  be serious  - then don't participate

I have provided video proof of actual bigfoot. I can provide even more videos. Plus, bigfoot obviously exists in people's minds, because you are talking about bigfoot which means he exists in your mind.

Also, you still didnt provide any evidence that bigfoot doesnt exist while I provided evidence that not only he can exist, but does.

Plenty of people say they saw big foot. Why would they lie?

You are like one of those who deny that aliens are real despite not having proof that aliens dont exist.

   I do not care what a person think in their mind. That does not prove the existence of bigfoot.

Also, you still didnt provide any evidence that bigfoot doesnt exist while I provided evidence that not only he can exist, but does.
  I have not seen a bigfoot so he does not exist. But I'm not responsible to prove he does not exist, you have to prove he does exist. Just declaring bigfoot exists does not validate it.

  But they are bullshit artists!

 We are not discussing aliens

I have never seen Australia, but we can agree that Australia exists.

Since we have never seen bigfoot, we can agree that bigfoot exists.
