Being someone who is interested in cryptozoology, I take issue with this statement. We arent talking about a fairy or a magical creature, we are talking about a creature that could possibly have escaped being identified by science. Just in the last month there was a discovery of lowland gorillas in africa that doubled the estimated population. They went from almost being completely gone(many were saying they were not far from complete extinction) to a gigantic population stuck in a remote corner of africa that nobody ever came in contact with.
While i understand that the possibility of such a bigfoot creature is so tiny, so remote that it is hardly worth believing at all, I also think that there must be some strange reason that tales of Bigfoot/sasquatch/yeti have been passed along for hundreds of years all over the entire world. There are places in North America that are extremely hard to get at by foot, there are mountain chains in asia that are almost impossible to get into, so there is a tiny little bit that a sasquatch/bigfoot/yeti could exist somewhere in the world.
Do I think it exists? Probably not. To go this long without a body being found anywhere really makes it a hard case to get behind. Do I think this is "Oh man, we were so dumb, this is like believing in the tooth fairy.", no, I dont think its like that at all.
Dude I loved Harry and the Hendersons just as much as the next guy but doesnt it feel just a little bit silly to put so much energy towards some myth?Iam not saying you are a dumb person because you are into this,its just a dumb fantasy IMO.
