**This article really doesn't have a lot to do with this particular blog, it more or less inspired my idea. Just an interesting read:)
Before reading these views, please also take into consideration, I am writing by basis of the assumption that you are familiar with these types of theories. If not, please take a moment to Google them. The listed article doesn't do the best job explaining the theories, it just is an aid to imply skepticism, or not.
Whether you call him Bigfoot, Sasquatch, or a fake story that someone made up to scare their children, this particular "creature" has intrigued generations. Many religions declare this as a "fluke" in order to support the fact that based on their belief, the Evolutionary Theory is unfair. However, it doesn't really matter whether or not you think that you evolved from a primate or primate-like creature, or if you believe that God created you from ashes or what have you. What matters here is what we know. Not what faith or ministers or our parents teach us, but exactly that, what we, ourselves know to be evident. I think that the real argument here is that is it more important to believe in something that you can't see, or take the time to understand something that is in plain and visible sight.
It can be argued from any professional opinion that science can prove that we evolved from some type of extinct (or hiding) creature. For example, scientists who study Bigfoot often make the argument, like the link listed above, that humans are genetically linked to these types of creatures. I have been taught that no matter what, evolution is wrong. Or that God will punish you for researching and digging into the theory that maybe he created something different first. (Please note, that I will not make references to or accept any references from the holy Bible, I am fully aware of what it says, as I have researched this on my own.) Another part of these evolutionary theories in question that I find very interesting, is that after all of the many years of trying, and searching for answers, there has only been small steps toward making any progress with proving (or disproving) the fact that Bigfoot does or (doesn't) exist. Fascinating. I'm really not saying that I believe all of the hype about Sasquatch, but I will inquire that no one or no "thing" has given me a reason not too, either.
This is mostly why it infuriates me that we are teaching our children to disbelieve something that cannot be proven or disproved. Especially people who have grown up around faith-based religions. I am a proud Southern Baptist and my church is the epitome of the word by any default. On the contrary, I do find it important to educate yourself about topics you are ignorant of. I do not think it is right to teach our future generations to "hate" for lack of a better term, something that we, ourselves, do not even fully understand.
