Why are so many people so closed minded about the possible existence of Bigfoot?

Question

Why is it so far fetched to think that it is plausible that a reclusive, somewhat intelligent primate could inhabit the remotest areas of North America and avoid human contact? There a a number of animals that zoologists thought were long extict, only to be "re-discovered" recently. Additionally, there are animals species thought not to exist in their former range, that essentially never left. They just adapted and became more hidden.

Answer 1

I've always though Bigfoot was real. =)

Good question though.

A friend of mine has written a series of important books on the subject. You can find them here:

Answer 4

i am not i think he sounds pretty cool

Answer 5

Because there are no scientific proof of the existence of Bigfoot other than footprints and a grainy old film footage. I mean with all the technology we have, we should at least found bones, or been able to take a clear picture. There are lost tribes that have no contact with the outside world in Brazil ( http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/05/30... ) that they have clear photos of. But still no Bigfoot. I mean, if they are humanoid in form or are primates, they should be living in groups to survive/mate. Monkeys, gorrilas, and humans all live in communities.

Answer 6

People fear the unknown and things that are abnormal.  Mainly why so many dont bealive in bigfoot or aliens
