If so many people have seen it and just about every culture has their own version of it then…. is she saying the whole world is creating a hoax, a lie? How is that possible? So many responsible and trustworthy people have seen it. Is she calling President Theodore Roosevelt a liar??!!! (Yes he has seen and heard bigfoot) I wonder why some skeptics don’t have an open mind to new and unidentified things. People didn’t believe that a colacanth could actually exist yet some people did claim to see it and have pictures of them. Yet once a skeptic found it and analized it, it was proven. Same with the mountain gorilla. Nobody believed that it existed and here it is. Why cant the same happen with Bigfoot? Everything will be discovered some time in the future. Why not now???

I had to after she called a Basking Shark a whale. 16 mins in.

I liked the way she spoke about the mystic Bigfoot. It can do magic. If that does not say “This is a joke subject” I do not know what else she could say. Using her logic most of the creatures in the rainforests I have been to do not exist because I have not seen their skeletons littering the ground. People must be immortal because I have never seen a dead body in the streets.

The best comment was the fact that if a Wildman existed then we would have to throw out all our concepts of science. Just like when scientists tell us the set conditions for life. Then they discover creatures that live on the side of under water volcanoes that conflict with the set Scientific Conditions for Life. She needs to go to those creatures and explain that they can not exist because it confilicts with known concepts of science.

As I recall “Being on a train travelling 35 mph would suck the air out of your lungs”. That was science. Imagine the state of the world if we stuck to that fact.

I also like the comment of the discovery of some of the new species of animal. They have recently been discovered by western scientist but the locals have know about them for a long time. I find it interesting that some of the locals have been talking about creatures that are odd. But therefore can not exist because western scientist have not seen them.

I find there is more to the some of the stories that locals tell. You just have to carve away the magical element and you can find a bit of truth.

Chinese Dragon. Take away the magic. You are left with an Oarfish. Still impressive. Very real.

I’d love to see a debate between her and Loren. I’d pay to see that.

I just have to say that it is Ok to question Ms. Scott’s assertions. Don’t be cowed because she has an advanced degree or think she must be right because of that degree. Science is all about questioning what you see, it is a hallmark of science, and you do not have to even be a scientist to do so. Imagine what the world would be like if no one questioned or debated new findings, assertions, or hypotheses. Chaos, madness, we’d still be in the Dark Ages, bloodletting our five humors and thinking that a flat Earth is circled by the sun.

I say in this situation, take any good points she makes to heart, don’t write her off completely (after all, that’s not what you want her to do either), but be ready to question what you here and be able to back up your arguments against with data. The more data you have that the proposer of something you do not agree with does not, the more your case will hold up and the more useful your observations will be.

I opened my third business. Owning and operating all three entities, ate up more free time than I thought it would. So I barely had time to read, let alone, post!

Also, not to blow my own horn, but I did something that took a lot of guts, morals, and ethics. Let’s just say I went up against the big boys to protect children. Sort of a whistleblower scenario. As a result of that, word got out on who this heroic whistleblower was and I have been inundated by the press. I think I have some inkling of how Loren feels. TV stations and interviews, radio shows, and newspaper reporters! It’s just a little overwhelming since I am not use to it. I do not know how Loren does it each and every time a cryptid comes into the news.

God Bless You Loren!

Good hearing from you mystery_man! I read all of your posts! Frankly, even if I had the time I would have nothing to add to the thread, since you cover them so brilliantly!

“What do we know from science?”

That’s your cue that she thinks she’s talking to a room of numbskulls.

I keep saying this: why don’t they debate the scientists who disagree with them? Shoot, they get carved up when they come here. I’d have a field day with this lady, and I don’t even have a science degree.

Some scientists remind me of some priests; their religion is a Great Mystery. They practice it; but understanding it is beyond them.
