Or are we so vain to think we have all the answers?

Science finds a fossilized bone fragment and builds a theory around that finding, and as more fragments are found, the theory enlarges and since the newest fossil they have found dates way back, that becomes the latest parameter that species lived.

I'm still not saying mastadons ran around N. America until the 1800's nor am I saying Sasquatches still wander around the world, but I will say we still have a lot to learn about this planet.

In the Bible, the book of Job it mentions dinosaurs.
Job 40, 15-24
15 ¶ Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his
sword to approach [unto him].
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook
compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he
can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.

I would not rule out anything.

Well that description was rather vague. But given that job was written between 6000 and 1500 BC, depending on who you ask, it's highly doubtful it was a large herbivorous dinosaur. Also given that half of the old testament is history and half is mythology, it's a little hard to tell what is what.
Even biblical scholars will not definitively agree what Job means. Google it, it's more likely they were talking about a hippopotamus. The same chapter mentions fire breathing "leviathans"...and no creature, dinosaur or not, has ever been known to breathe fire. There is simply nothing in the geological record that dinosaurs, which scientists agree died out 65 million years ago, ever lived with man, who evolved about a million or so years ago. I could see a wooly mammoth though, they were much later...

Big foot is a completely different creature. As a "great ape", he is our contemporary, geologically speaking. He belongs in the post dinosaur time period. An evolutionary mishap, perhaps? A Neanderthal branch that didn't quite die out? Maybe our cro-magnon ancestors missed a few.
I'm far more likely to believe that, than the ancient Hebrews saw a Brontosaurus grazing down by the river Jordan.

Remember, the snow leopard and the silverback gorillas were "myths" until they were finally discovered. If something wants to be that elusive, why couldnt there be BF? A man once told me "Think of all the people who get lost in the woods that WANT to be found and sometimes impossible to locate. Now think if something DOESNT want to be found, could he do it?"
If they are out there, then God bless 'em because they are part of creation. Am I goin lookin for one? Nope!!

Sorry I am a non believer. Every single thing on this planet that walks, crawls or flies
unfortunately has been hit by a car. BF is that evasive ? I doubt it.

Take care,

Hi...


I have a big foot.

I have never had any type of experience with them. However, when I am walking in the woods close to my house, it can be spooky at times and you can hear crashing noises, but typically this is just the deer. Nothing to really be concerned about if you ask me.
