I will make it easy for Chris. If he does not have evidence for Bigfoot to provide here (which I believe) and he is now not interested in trying to argue that Bigfoot is real, then the only purposes of his posts here must be to discuss the type of evidence that might be obtained in the future that would prove Bigfoot. Here are my proposals:
1. Bigfoot himself, alive or dead. Or
2. A significant piece of Bigfoot that would leave no doubt as to his identity when studied: a head, a hand, a foot, etc. Or
3. A small amount of DNA, enough to sequence, that would show previously unknown primate DNA. Extra credit if this can be proven to come from North America. And shown to be non-ancient. But we really don't need to show that the DNA came from a filmed Bigfoot, or even from an identifiable chuck of Bigfoot. Finding previously unknown humanoid sequences would be exciting enough. Or
4. Clear, high definition photos of Bigfoot unobscured by objects or shadows in which Bigfoot occupies a major part of the image (either close or with a good telephoto). Extra credit if multiple views are shown, or a video, or multiple Bigfoot individuals (to rule out fraud).
Useless evidence includes blurry photos of shadows that sort of look to some people like Bigfoot, or samples of DNA that have not been sequenced.
Okay- now Chris can discuss if other items that should be added to this list, or if some of the items on the list should be discussed more and/or removed.
To validate this list, I mention that everything on my list has been documented for gorillas, who are very rare primates in a very isolated location. Most of this list has been documented for gorillas for hundreds of years. So how hard should it be to obtain even one of these proofs for a giant primate living in North America?
