I've come to the conclusion that everything is either a myth or science when it comes to stuff like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster. Either Bigfoot is fake and we spend forever searching for him, or he's real and gets classified and identified by taxonomy as just another rare creature. Did nobody ever think that far ahead? And seriously, what about old Nessie? We've used sonar to map that entire lake. You'd think it was about time to give up the ghost. But ultimately, why hype up the myth? It's not like Bigfoot or any other hypothesized creature is of much immediate importance, and if they've evaded detection this long they're probably not real.

I can understand t the desire to hype up a god, however. Because generally we can only have this god revealed once we're dead or it's come back to destroy the world. No scrutiny allowed. Not only that, but those myths are profitable. But why Bigfoot? He's pointless!
