Tell that to Einstein whom said the same...clown.

Cognition is a given really....lol

I wouldn't call it imagination though, more of curiosity. We should be interested and explore things. I don't really think of that as being imaginative.

Finding a solution to your problem involves the application of imagination, imagination is the creative force behind technological progress as well as art and philosophy and religion...

Go to a bigfoot site sometime, you'll see a lot crazier explanations than this.

Perhaps like Humans and Neanderthals, they simply bury their dead in wild areas.

Then we would find their graves, like we do for Neanderthals.

but seriously, if we found one... just one, it would be huge deal.
I think we are honestly better off looking for more probable, if less flashy, criptids like the 'rabbit-headed' cats.

The vast wilds of north america would make accidental exhumations of dead sasquatch vanishingly rare, especially in forested areas, where they assumedly inhabit.

Neanderthals have only been found in Europe, where no area of land is uninhabited or untouched by the plough or not dug up for roads...

Mathematically speaking it would be unlikely to stumble across bigfoot remains.

I have to disagree. If Europe is any more developped than the U.S. is, it's not by much. Mathematically speaking, it would be unlikely not to stumble across bigfoot remains. If they exist, they have to have been here for at least hundreds of years, and probably for thousands of years. If that's the case, their remains would be all over the continent. We have developped plenty of the this continent to have found at least some form of their remains, especially considering a lot of the sightings are near developped areas, where many people venture very often.

peace,
the torah speaks of creatures that descended from the heavens and interbred with humans. just because man can interbreed with other creations, it does not mean man was not created.
just some thoughts: if a modern scientist "creates" a new intelligent creature by modifying dna, is it still considered an animal? how would this be described by future civilizations of this creature if written records were destroyed and this creation no longer had knowledge of genetic modification? is there anything in the bible, quran, or other "ancient" religious text that rules out genetic/dna manipulation by alien/angelic creatures to create man, by the will of God of course? man could even have been created from dna that was evolved on this planet within other animals.

peace

Europe is far more densely populated and thus far more developed.

Their remains may well be limited to the ranges of nothern USA and the vast untouched forests of Canada...which is uninhabited mainly, only the south of Canada is inhabited, perhaps sasquatch is and has always been a 'Canadian species' that ovccasionally ventures south into wild areas of the USA.

Point is people still report seeing them....
