I know you aren't serious, but these are comonly-used arguments. It amounts to nothing more than institutionalized argument from ignorance (seems to be a common factor in most popular woo).
Well, here´s what a proponent would say:
1. Casts- An expert said they were dermal ridges. Are you saying you can not trust an expert's statement?
Yet those same experts say things about patterns that match nothing else, and ridges that seem to run in odd directions, etc.
The artifacts were not reproduced in soils from [add place name here].
Yet are reproduced in others...
There are footprints with mid-tarsal break marks;
...and footprints without...
theres a miles-long trackway in the middle of nothing;
...that starts and ends and leaves no other evidence anywhere
there are casts showing toe movement.
and casts that don't...
No to mention the Skookum cast (Swindler said its from Gigantopithecus), the anatomically-correct female buttcast and Freeman's handcasts.
yes. And it seems that any remotely-close fascimile to a footprint that can't be positiviely identified as something else is automatically a 'Foot print. There's no consistency between "proven" 'Foot tracks. Some show a mid-tarsal break, some don't. Long toes, short toes, double balls, prehensile toes, human-like foot, etc, etc, etc.
2. Vocalizations- No one proved the Sierra Sounds were fake and sound analysis "proved" they could not be made by humans
Even assuming that's true, no one has proven they couldn't be made by synthesizers, or speakers playing a tape of animal sounds, or any other method of producing, reproducing, or manipulating sound. And once again, there's little consistency between 'Foot reports on vocals...ptich, tone, and timbre all vary, as well as the various types of yells, calls, or similar (from erie silence, to wolf-like howls, to gorilla-like grunts and roars).
3. DNA- There are "unidentified samples" others samples could have been contaminated by human DNA.
Unidentified does not equal Bigfoot. And again, look more closely at those "unidentified" or, more correctly, "unidentifiable" samples. You'll start to see the
reasons they are unidentified: sample too degraded by age; sample degraded by supected chemical treatment; sample contained no genetic material (i.e.-synthetic fiber), and similar. I've yet to see any classified as a sample that produces a genetic sequence which can't be identified. THere are many that don't produce a genetic sequence.
4. Hair- There are samples, they just look too much like human hair. Human hair that ws never cut!
See above.
5. Other Videos- The MDF and Freeman footage have never been proved to be hoaxes.
Neither have they ever been proven to be real. Burden of proof. "Don't know" <> "Bigfoot wanders the earth"
6. Photos- Many were never proved not to be from a 'bigfoot'
See above.
7. Sighting Reports- Are you claiming all those people are liars? Are you saying that everyone who reported a bigfoot sighting can not be trusted?
Millions of people see Mickey Mouse every year in Florida.
Millions of children see Santa Clause in malls and department stores around the world every year.
Millions of people have seen the "man in the moon".
There are numerous sighting reports for ghosts, UFOs, aliens, satanic ritualistic abuse, jesus in a tortilla (or other food item), and similar things. People see things. People
interpret what they see. Do NOT fall into the trap of confusing what some
saw with how someone
interpreted what they saw. See the Conspiracy theory thread for a perfect example, where a common claim is that a certain fireball "couldn't have been fuel" because witnesses described it as an "explosion".
Can I make some money out of it?
Don't see why not, the rest of 'footery does
