Bigfoot DNA

[Jodie]

^Justin Bieber is a decent singer. But yeah, I think the Gigantopithecus theory doesn't make much sense.

Well for that matter, bigfoot doesn't make sense.

yes.. that and they make bad back up singers !

 

[Jodie]

Or backup dancers, one false move......

 

[AlaskaBushPilot]

So the man himself is a liar and a lunatic but the evidence he supplied is totes legit doods?

That's more incredible than his story

The Roger Patterson model is to say "I'm the worst person in the world to have filmed a bigfoot..." and use that as the very logic to trust his film. Counting on disordered thinking.

I mean, what are the odds that this track-hoaxer and con man is out filming a legitimate documentary about bigfoot in a logging area and he catches the only footage of bigfoot ever recorded? The odds against that are just too fantastic! So it has to be real.

Someone mentioned the Doobie Brothers song "What a Fool Believes". That 50 year old guy who thinks he caught the eye of a 19 year old exotic beauty. No wise man has the power ...to reason away... what seems to be...

 

[rockinkt]

lol that may be true, but I am personally a huge fan of David Paulides. He's maybe the greatest footer out there.

Ontario Sasquatch...I have asked you this before and you did not answer the question.

What can you tell me about Mr. Paulides' background? What educational and work experience does he have? What makes you think he is honest?

How Bigfootry does it:

Psst, I am writing a paper about DNA being Bigfoot, no one here is allowed to talk about it though, it is far to secretive to allow science to look at our process.

How real anthropologists do it:

In an unprecedented gesture of open access to science and public participation, the University of the Witwatersrand, the Gauteng Provincial Government and the South African national government announced that for the first time in history, the process of exploring and uncovering these fossil remains would be conducted live, captured on video, and conveyed to the world in real time. This will allow members of the public and the scientific community to share in the unfolding discovery in an unprecedented way.
A laboratory studio, designed in collaboration with the National Geographic Society, will be built at the Maropeng Visitor Centre in the heart of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. It will allow the public to view the preparation of this skeleton live if they visit Maropeng, or live on the internet. “The public will be able to participate fully in Live Science and future discoveries as they occur in real time – an unprecedented moment in palaeoanthropology,” explains Berger. “The laboratory studio will be also linked to laboratories at Wits University and the Malapa site.”

So what you're saying is real scientists do things open and publicly as possible, often incorporating developing technologies in new and novel ways to make sure the world at large is able to see what's happening for themselves?

And the footers are playing into the "rogue-genius-does-everything-themselves-scientist-toiling away in secrecy shunning the daylight and shaking their fist and cursing at interlocuors" trope that exists solely in pure fiction?

Wasnt that how the concept of DNA was discovered ? Watson and Crick.. and also their sponsors (if I recall some major Corporations at that time).

Watson and Crick had LSD and x ray's of DNA. They were more or less just the first people to announce what the x ray images showed. That's probably a bit hyperbolic, but I'd give way more credit to Rosalind Franklin.

"Franklin's X-ray diffraction images confirming the helical structure of DNA were shown to Watson without her approval or knowledge. Though this image and her accurate interpretation of the data provided valuable insight into the DNA structure, Franklin's scientific contributions to the discovery of the double helix are often overlooked.

That is sad that she died so young. I was hoping this post would come along. Thanks, IAB..

So science is like a stripper with a Trojan Vibrating Twister?

 

[GT/CS]

Never mind. Ignore is a better option.
That way I won't even see his childish and/or disturbing comments.

That's probably the most accurate description of science I have ever read.

There isn't any Bigfoot DNA

I'll drink to that..They'll NEVER prove the existence of a mythical creature dreamed up by a pair of hoaxers.....

 

[Jodie]

A few of the sample submitters have said that they have gotten their results but with no interpretation included, I don't know if that is true or not. I also don't know who the other 12 authors are supposed to be that are allegedly included on this project.

I guess you could send out a report that included strings of nucleotides but to what purpose? Eventually it will come out if you actually followed through, and in the mean time I can't see a monetary motivation for hoaxing results like that.

What would be the purpose of faking a study? Can anyone come up with a reason? To my knowledge Dr. Ketchum was not involved in bigfoot world until she was approached by Destination Truth for testing. At most, I think she might be in over her head unless she has connections at other research facilities.

Quacks fake studies all the time. Look at homeopathy studies. Or acupuncture. Or ESP studies.

Hell, Andrew Wakefield lived off of one fake study for about a decade...or even longer. I don't think he had any connection to anti-vaxxers until his fake MMR study. (He lied about the results because he was getting paid by anti-vaxxers to do it and he was creating a competing vaccine, if I remember correctly). His results were shown to be fraudulent but he still was living quite well off of "Oh poor me! I am persecuted by those evil, close-minded skeptics and scientists!" for a couple years.
His popularity has waned greatly in the past few years however. Don't know how much money anti-vaxxers throw at him though.

I feel bigfooters would pretty much react the same way...closing ranks and supporting and believing blindly while venomously attacking the people that see through the awful research (assuming the research is shoddy and tries to fraudulently claim the existence of bigfoot is proven).

 

[AttorneyTom]

Well.. the only thing wrong with a fake study is when it it is taken as fact. Then it becomes a factual study based upon woo.. and the $ flows.

 

[Jodie]

But wouldn't the results have to be reproducible? I mean no one is going to believe DNA results for bigfoot without a body or different groups independently testing fresh samples right?

It's not like claiming vaccines cause side effects and receiving funding from the Scientologists, who would profit from the existence of bigfoot?

People immediately tried to reproduce Wakefield's study. Didn't work.

Who would profit?
Well Melba certainly would. She could do talks and lectures and charge money. Write books. Star in "documentaries." Other big name footers can collaborate with her and profit if she's a big draw.

Who would believe it? Those who already believe despite lacking any real evidence.

There is nothing in Bigfootery that is able to be reproduced scientifically. Woo wise.. yes, of course, BF and the behavior/observations are reproduced on a regular basis. Noises.. smells, rocks, knocks, tracks, deer kills, jumping, fur , lip gloss, bad pics..

Scientifically.. there is nothing to reproduce.. or produce ?
