Dr. Willerslev and his colleagues also investigated lakes and other bodies of water, discovering that animal DNA could survive at detectable levels for weeks. Their methods were so sensitive that they found DNA from deer that had drunk at the edges of ponds.

Someone should tell those NAWAC nitwits about this. Especially that Alton Higgins feller. Matter of fact, as a biology professor and trained biologist he should be aware of these methods. Probably already in place at area x. I'll be eating my denialist words any day now!

Eske Willerslev, a pioneer in environmental DNA at the University of Copenhagen, and his colleagues ran a series of experiments that showed environmental DNA can give zoologists a reliable snapshot of the animals in a particular place. In zoos, for example, they dug deep into the dirt and found DNA matching that of the elephants, lions and other animals living in each enclosure.

Yep, should be a **** load of DNA deposited in the dirt of their ten acre Oauchita ape wilderness.

I've caught/seen those salamanders in the North GA mountains a few times. They are pretty large compared to any other salamanders in the area. Always am very careful handling them due to the rarity of the species. (also, they can live up to around 30 years!) The excuse trail is certainly running thin for footers these days.
 
Here we go again...trying to use real science and logic against Bigfooters.

We already know from Sykes and Ketchum that Bigfoot DNA is special and won't be detected.

Here's a spectacular quote from Higgins on the NAWAC site:

"Higgins has explanations why no remains have been found in 50 years. 'The sasquatch is rare, it has a long life span, and it decays rapidly after death.' The latter argument holds for other animals as well. 'In the USA there are millions of white-tailed deer, but you hardly ever find their bones.' "

Well there you go.

I don't know if it's the same breed, but the local term here is "Water Dogs" and you can see them anytime you wish, so they're hardly elusive.

3 or 4 miles West of Donansburg KY there's a bridge on Hwy 88 that crosses Green/Little Barren River. You can find them there. Some are longer than 30". As I said though, I'm not certain it's the same breed as discussed in the article.

Never heard that name for them but locals sometimes have nicknames for species so its possible. There is a salamander called a water dog, but it's a term used for the larvae of tiger salamanders. Sometimes people call them mud puppies also. They are also in the same areas as the hellbenders but they look fairly different in appearance. (and yeah they get fairly large also, but i've never seen one of those longer than a foot or so)

The reference of my post however, was to the excuse trail about no DNA or other verifiable evidence left by the alleged HUGE BEAST bigfoot™.

Where is he a professor, exactly?
 
Do I believe bigfoot exists? Not until one bites me and I can use its saliva DNA to prove its existence. And that's unlikely to happen because of my gristly old body flesh at age 67 :D

"That's the most blatant case of stupidity I've ever seen." Or it's a clear case of he's an idiot since everything he says is idiotic.

There was a time Bigfooters used the old "they bury their dead" canard, and maybe they still do, but that particular myth was debunked recently on an unrelated TV show. The simple premise is when you don't have tools, you don't dig 6' or 2' holes in the ground to bury dead people. It's just too hard to do. So much so that burial of the dead into the ground is almost modern day - calling the last 2k years modern day. Apparently through a large chunk of history, the dead were mainly burned (as they are still). Anyone seen any Bigfoots burning cause something's burning?

Yeah . . . http://www.macu.edu/about-macu/statement-of-faith.html
Humankind

That human beings were created in the image of God. This image was marred in every part through the disobedience of our first parents, and fellowship with God was broken. God, in His prevenient grace, restores moral sensibility to all humankind and enables all to respond to His love and to accept His saving grace, if they will . . .

And . . .
Jesus

That Jesus Christ is God's Son incarnate, born of the Virgin Mary. He died for the sins of all, taking on Himself, on behalf of sinful persons, God's judgment upon sin. In His body, He rose from the grave and ascended to the right hand of the Father where He intercedes for us . . .
