It is a known and very openly spoken about point that scientist do not even want to risk their reputation by attempting to study a cryptid. Look it up because right now you are very wrong.

And heres 10 cryptids that were proven real for all you science nerds that say its not possible.

It's a very openly spoken point that scientists love to discover new things, especially when they were told they couldn't. Look it up.
If science is afraid to study cryptids then how were 10 of them confirmed?

So one post you claim it is a hominid and now you claim it isn't? Any hominid, by definition exist within the lineage of humans. Learn some taxonomy, learn some basic science before you go spouting your ridiculous ideas.

Scientist didnt want to study those either.. but eventually the amount of evidence was overwhelming and they had to stop ignoring them, which is exactly whats gonna happen to bigfoot.

Ok, sorry for that one mistake. Bigfoot is a real species that exists, theres too much evidence for it than against it. Thats all im sayin..

Discovering bigfoot would lead to many awards and lots of cash.
Others have already pointed that out but I felt like I should remind you since it seems like you forgot their point.

The amount of evidence that god is make believe is overwhelming. But you seem to ignore that.

When did it evolve? And from what kind of ancestor? Were it's ancestors in North America before humans first arrived around 14,000 years ago? Why are there no skeletons or physical remains?

You ask a foolish question. When the answer is obvious. To base your life on Mythology when you know all the myths of the ages have been proven false but for some reason you insist on taking the road of no responsibility for yourself.

At least link to a somewhat credible source.

"One hypothesis is that yetis are surviving Neanderthals. The joint project will take DNA samples from areas where there have been alleged sightings to see whether the Neanderthal DNA traces are stronger in the local population."
This is why understanding science is important. Neanderthals lived 0.35-0.03 million years ago and were confined to Europe and Western Asia, homo sapiens (modern humans) reached North America 14,000* years ago. How could a species that died off 15,000 years earlier reach a new place before modern humans and there be absolutely no record of it happening? Every Neanderthal skeleton ever discovered has been in Europe and Western Asia.
Would you agree that somewhat puts that theory to rest?

Are the Bigfoot-Sasquatch-Yeti surviving Neanderthals?
One way to find out would be to use any viable DNA to clone one, using a human female. But I doubt that idea would gain much traction, and what would we do with it?

Scientists deploy genetics in search for bigfoot

LONDON — Scientists are turning to genetic testing to see if they can prove the existence of the elusive hairy humanoid known across the world as bigfoot, yeti and sasquatch.
A joint project between Oxford University and Switzerland’s Lausanne Museum of Zoology will examine organic remains that some say belong to the creature that has been spotted in remote areas for decades.
“It’s an area that any serious academic ventures into with a deal of trepidation … It’s full of eccentric and downright misleading reports,” said Bryan Sykes at Oxford’s Wolfson College.
But the team would take a systematic approach and use the latest advances in genetic testing, he added.
“There have been DNA tests done on alleged yetis and other such things but since then the testing techniques, particularly on hair, have improved a lot due to advances in forensic science,” he told Reuters.
Modern testing could get valid results from a fragment of a shaft of hair said Sykes, who is leading the project with Michel Sartori, director of the Lausanne museum.
Ever since a 1951 expedition to Mount Everest returned with photographs of giant footprints in the snow, there has been speculation about giant Himalayan creatures, unknown to science.
There have been eyewitness reports of the ’yeti’ or ’migoi’ in the Himalayas, ’bigfoot’ or ’sasquatch’ in America, ’almasty’ in the Caucasus mountains and ’orang pendek’ in Sumatra.
Tests up to now have usually concluded that alleged yeti remains were actually human, he said. But that could have been the result of contamination. “There has been no systematic review of this material.”
The project will focus on Lausanne’s archive of remains assembled by Bernard Heuvelmans, who investigated reported yeti sightings from 1950 up to his death in 2001.
Other institutions and individuals will also be asked to send in details of any possible yeti material. Samples will be subjected to “rigorous genetic analysis”, and the results published in peer-reviewed science journals.
Aside from the yeti question, Sykes said he hoped the project would add to the growing body of knowledge on the interaction between humanity’s ancestors.
“In the last two years it has become clear that there was considerable inter-breeding between Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals … about 2 to 4 percent of the DNA of each individual European is Neanderthal,” he said.
One hypothesis is that yetis are surviving Neanderthals. The joint project will take DNA samples from areas where there have been alleged sightings to see whether the Neanderthal DNA traces are stronger in the local population.
As for the project’s chances of success? “The answer is, of course, I don’t know,” said Sykes. “It’s unlikely but on the other hand if we don’t examine it we won’t know.”

Pretty funny.

Yes, that's all your sayin, that god, the great and omniscient homophobe, created humans and placed them above the animals, yet he also created this other intelligent species of Bigfoot smart enough to hide from us, and never mentioned them in the bible, or worries about getting them into church.
You don't want to understand science, you misrepresent science because that is the only way your views make sense. You are a genuine flake.

Correction. They are testing hair and DNA samples alleged to be from bigfoot or another species.
But...but... but... wouldn't his ruin their reputation like you claimed?
