    The word "Giants" was translated incorrectly from Hebrew to latin and then later to english. its one of those words u cant take literally. It refers to the Nephilem which were "winged" either by craft or physical build. dig a little deeper into it. But your ont he right track in your thinking. There is alot of proof that would convict most of us for a crime if were presented as evidence in a court of law. yet Big foot is a myth....

      thanks for replying. I understand biblical translations. But if you will study into the bible you will find where there are many references to bible giants and the measurements of their stature and clothes they wear. Goliath surely wasnt a winged creature and he walked on land. Study the measurements of his attire.

      tnx

    Seriously, I haven't laughed this hard in a LONG time! Hilarious Ciber and others!

    I know this is strange but with the Giants of the old testament and Genesis 27:16-23, it seems there is biblical evidence that the possibility of hairy giants are possible. Even after the flood the genetic code was not abolished after the flood. The genetic coding for giantism still exists. Hundreds of eyewitness accounts and some videos is enough to even thwart skepticism. Where is the scientific evidence that bigfood does NOT exist?

      Kipper continued...Well, I'm back from the hospital. Broke my nose when I hit the brick wall at the train station. Thought it might be the wrong pillar, so I tried again and this resulted in a slight concussion. I guess this is still not proff that Harry, Hogwarts, and all that stuff is NOTreal, so when I recover I'll try again. Hope it is real because I now have A LOT of medical debt I need to make go away. Or wait, there really isn't any proof that my bills exist! IT's just paper with scribbles on it really. Yeah Hooo! This is great! What a great world!

    • Posted By: SlpAwy @ 08/26/2008 3:38:53 AM

      Kipper, You mean Harry, Voldemort, Dumbeldore and Hogwarts is all real!!?? Nobody can prove they don't exist! WHOOHOOO!!! I'm going to the train station tonight and jumping through the brick pillar!

    Dude Designmaster777 ... are u for real? were talking about bigfoot here man not politics. Sick of u pathetic Self rightous Democrat Morons always poppin off at the mouth about something they cant possibly know. BUSH is not to blame for every messed up thing that goes on. If anyone is to blame its you socialist democrats making dumb ass laws to take our rights away. And furthermore for proof of evolution... if we and every lifeform on this planet didnt evolve... we would die off over time. U want proof of evolution...look in the mirror. Comment: Please don't feed me that "overwhelming evidence" crap! I work with real science every day! I have used science in my profession for over 40 years. I know enough about my profession to know that there is not even a flake of scientific evidence to support the ridiculous claims of the theory of evolution.

    Furthermore, this "broad acceptance" business only proves my point that "there are so many fools!!! Just look at all the stupid people who were silly enough to follow George W. Bush and his Weapons of Mass Destruction Nonsense. Many of these fools were highly educated - they are fools notwithstanding!!!

      Plazma, "talking bigfoot here man not politics" And then goes on to talk more politics. Again...Plazma..."sick of u pathetic...Democrats poppin off...something they can't possibly know." And then goes on to pop off about things he cleearly knows little about. Socialist democrats taking our rights away? Bush admin involved in torture, detaining individuals without due process, and illegal wiretapping. Also, see Patriot Act, Detainee Treatment Act, Military Commissions Act, and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Yeah, you're right, he's not responsible for ALL the messed up things right now, just most of them. He's also responsible for me, and hopefully many like me, switching parties. Finally..."I work with real science every day!" Intelligent design doesn't count as "real science." Not a flake of evidence for evolution? Well there are plenty of 'real" scienctists that can provide you and anybody else with this evidence. Just do a simple search...look for fossil evidence, geographic distribution evidence, and genetic change evidence, among others. First, though, please open your mind to new ideas and possibilities.

    DUMB COMMENT:
    "what if there aren't alot of these creatures left and they are extremely territorial? Or maybe the live in underground systems and only come up once in awhile for who knows what?
    This would explain the lack of dead bodies. If they are vegetarians than...well... depending on what their favorite foliage is they just might have alot of food...."
    Quote from ReK3ss

    Like WTF???

    Missing the real obvious with that comment - perhaps they all carry their own personal toilets with them also.... big herbivores normally leave big smelly pooh's, and 50 or 100 so called Big Feets are going to do a lot of poohing with all that junk foliage that they supposedly eat....

    Or perhaps they leave all their pooh "underground" along with all their dead bodies.... yeah right - c'mon... are you believers actually conscious of what you are writing?


    Dr Meldrum's book, "Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science" LMAO, thats just a money spinner - wakeup idiots...

    INTELLIGENT COMMENT:
    Posted By: rschunk @ 08/26/2008 12:11:17 AM
    Comment: The critical factor that these bigfoot morons never address is how a 7 foot tall 300 pound mammal is able to get enough calories to sustain itself in subzero temperatures. It would need about eight large double cheeze, double pepperoni pizzas per day to survive. Pizza Hut does not extend credit.

    Now this dude has his eyes open and his brain working... the foliage up there is poor and this Big Foot idiot would need to spend like most of its waking life munching leaves to just about live, and like I just mentioned unless he carries his pooh with him (or her) the whole idea of Big Foot families not leaving any organic evidence behind them just goes beyond the ridiculous...

    THERE IS NO BIG FOOT

    Why people are so stupid as to believe all this Bigfoot, Lochness monster, Roswell, Chupacabras, Vampires crap is more perplexing than the answer to the meaning of the universe itself - it is not necessary to be a "scientist" to see how stupid this Bigfoot idea is... some of you are even quoting from the bible to prove it's existence - c'mon - Santa Claus has more right to exist than Bigfoot - Hollywood made films about him - so he must be real????

    Repeat after me - there are no goblins, no ogres - no fairies (well actually there are fairies, they live in LA) there are no angels or devils, no easter bunnies (apart from those in Playboy Magazine) no inner earth, no secret reptile societies, no UFO's, no alien abductions, the pyramids were built by men, Atlantans didnt have cars, the Chariots of the Gods is the biggest fraud ever, there are no psychics but there are a lot of psychotics, there are no ghosts, only spirits (make mine a whiskey with a ginger beer please), 9/11 was real, not a conspiracy, Bush is an idiot, and so is the Pope, and muslims do still stone women to death... NOW THAT IS REALITY...

    Bigfoot must be at least 60 years old by now, but wait, he must have a mate, and children - so is he screwing his own kids?? No wait, there are several families, so they all interbreed, then there must at least 50 to 100 of these buggers roaming around with nothing better to do, no wait, they are shapeshifters (dumbest assed comment from below) - Like errr - since just about every half ass on this planet now has a video cellphone, and with people turning up in just about square inch of the planet, no one can yet provide not one atom of proof or reason that this huge herd of Big Foot (do we say Big Foots or Big Feets?) exists... yet all you idiots can't seem to get it through your thick skulls that IT'S ALL JUST A HOAX - ITS NOT REAL - IT DOESNT EXIST. IT NEVER DID EXIST.

    And it is even more pathetic that a damned so called scientist just cannot see the truth either - that for me proves he is NO scientist at all.

    The collective human intelligence can be amazing, but it can only be as strong as it's weakest link, and unfortunetely looking at the sheer crap people believe in, and yes that does include religion, I can see that the trek to a better world will have to wait until the collective peoples stop trying to stick their noses up non-existent ass holes and wake up to reality.

    There is no God, there are no pearly gates, there is no eternity floating around on a cloud (how boring that would be) there is no Santa Claus and there is no Bigfoot...

    Just get over it and move on...

    hoaxes.
    wonder if Obama's birth certificate will be determined to be the next big hoax. Seems his grandmother, brother and sister remember being at his birth....IN KENYA

    • Posted By: SlpAwy @ 08/26/2008 3:27:24 AM

      No no Loriw, you've mixed up stories here. It was McCain's grandmother. brother, and sister. These relatives all used to live in Kenya in yet another house McCain forgot he still owned. BIrth certificates were necessary when McCain forgot he had a brother and a sister.

    Yeah Meldrum is a respected scientist, and probably a good one for the most part, but scientists, even good ones, are still human and all humans make mistakes. Some of the best over the years, in various fields, have botched experiments and backed theories that were later shot down. Quite a few have claimed in the past that all major scientific discoveries or breakthroughs have already occurred, and then another major discovery comes along. I like that Meldrum and those like him are able to keep an open mind on a subject like this, but the simple fact that he is a scientist does not make him right. What about the many...MANY respected scientists out there that don't believe in Bigfoot. And yes, some of these people have also looked into the legend over the years. What is more believable and logical to me is that we do have far more people out there that find it entertaining, humorous, exciting, empowering, profitable, etc. to make up sightings, fake footprints, or invent elaborate hoaxes like this one (rampant on the net). Hoaxes happen all the time. Bigfoot is a particularly good one so it has received significant attention. The more attention a legend gets, the more people want to believe, and the more pranksters there are. This will increase the amount of stories, sightings, and more involved hoaxes. Obviously, some are better than others. It is not surprising then that when we consider all the people who want to believe, potential human error, the large numbers now aware of Bigfoot, the many people (searchers or not) that are in his supposed habitiat, and the hoaxers, that we have all the so-called evidence today. Also, what can't be overlooked is that in all of the major legends...Bigfoot, Nessie, Champ, UFO's...there has never been any indisputable evidence...body, DNA. There hasn't even been a really good, clear picture. Even today, the best and most famous pictures or videos are still the old/grainy ones, although there are more people around today and technology has improved drastically. What has also spread drastically is the amount of Bigfoot related encounters reported. The prominent Bigfoot websites report many of these across the country now. Didn't get too many stories of ape-like creatures running around Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Florida, or New Jersey prior to the Patterson film. Is it just coincidental that the overwhelming majority of reports are dated after this film was made public? This latest Bigfoot hoax was not even that elaborate and look how it exploded across the world. Just think what a very intelligent prankster, with a well thought out plan could do...or does it seem more likely that this has already happened? Seems far more likely and reasonable then an actual large, hairy, ape creature roaming our woods.

    Well, the legend goes back much further than Wallace's lifetime. The natives of old called it sasquatch... Ya.. i tend to lean towards most modern sightings to be either misinterpertations of what is seen, fruad, and hopeful thinking. Still...a legend usually is found to have some basis in reality, some reason for its existence, and the sasquatch, Yeti, etc legends are worldwide and older than current hoaxers. As for the argument of a food source well,,, what if there aren't alot of these creatures left and they are extremely territorial? Or maybe the live in underground systems and only come up once in awhile for who knows what?
    This would explain the lack of dead bodies. If they are vegetarians than...well... depending on what their favorite foliage is they just might have alot of food. I am not saying I am ready to just jump in and believe but sometiimes the act of disbelief can be just as ludicris as believing. Especially if it is really disbelief based on blind prejudice..

    We do have a fossil record, the species was called Gigantopithacus and fossils as recent as only 200,000 years ago have been found in southeast Asia. Google Gigantopithacus.

  • Posted By: Arnie100 @ 08/26/2008 1:30:24 AM

    The idea of bigfoot makes no sense whatever. Every spcie especially this large would need a large breeding population. There would be signs especially bones or carcasses left after thet had died. No such evidence has ever been found nor will it. They are the figment of our imagination. If we can find fossils millions of years old how come we have no such record?

    The doubters are absolutely correct in that Ray Wallace, "the man who invented Bigfoot," was a known prankster who made a hobby out of carving wooden feet and leaving tracks in the mud from time to time. However, Meldrum's work (and remember, this is not just some dork living in his mother's basement, he's a respected scientist with a Ph.D. in primate locomotion, so gee, you think maybe he knows what he's talking about?) shows that the tracks he has casts of clearly indicate a living, moving, flexible foot bearing considerable weight, and with other distinct characteristics that no wooden foot could possibly replicate. Secondly, tracks have been found in so many different locations and terrains that it would be impossible for even an army of Wallace-like wooden-foot stompers to replicate them all.

    Well, there are scientists and there are third-rate scientists...the third-raters push this pseudoscientific crap on a gullible american public...we see this nonsense all the time with the creationists, the Velikovsky crowd, the flat-earthers, the hollow-earthers, ad nauseam. As first-rate physicist John Wheeler once said: "drive the pseudos out of the workshop of science!"

      BIGFOOT DOESN'T EXIST- DO AN ONLINE SEARCH FOR "RAY WALLACE" ... HE IS THE ORIGINAL CREATOR OF THE ENTIRE BIGFOOT LEGEND HOAX...... ITS A KNOWN FACT FOR SOME TIME NOW. PEOPLE STILL SEEM TO BE UNAWARE OF THIS FACT.

    What many people don't realize is that North America does still have vast areas of wilderness that are seldom visited by people. Last summer I took a 100 mile canoe trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area wilderness in Northern Minnisota and Quetico Provincial Park in Canada. I was amazed at the remoteness of the area. At our most northern point of the trip we were about 40 miles from the US-Canaddian borders, and totally in the middle of nowhere. We didn't see another soul for three days strait. One of the other crews that were farther north than us had pictures of either a large man in a gorilla suit or a bigfoot. The problem with believing that is was a man in a suit is that the area where they saw this was 50 miles from the nearest boat launch, which was off a remote road, and that is if were a man in a suit they would have had to portage it between over a dozen lakes. Trust me, on a trip that long, no one is crazy enough to lug a large gorilla suit. And they only reason to I really doubt it was a hoax is that, like I said, its common to go days without seeing anyone.
