Everything you know is WRONG. The government is corrupt, science is invalid, and religion is irrational.
Please be aware that I am obligated to question mostly science in this thread. I am very spiritual and I try to help and ease as many as I can through this small spark of consciousness I call my life.
I am not here to prove religion wrong either... However many adjustments I think world religion needs, I am not here to point out the frailties of it because it has given direction and purpose to billions.
Here we go. Those who have read Part one already.. Brush up or scroll on down.
ALSO NOTE: Lloyd Pye's book "Everything you know is wrong" can be a slog at points, so with permission I have cliff noted his material and integrated most of it with my work here for greater effect.

You can sum up the entirety of this document as being the answer to the question.. "If Bigfoot exists, along with 3 other types, then if all 4 early "prehuman" bones belong to them... How did we get here?
I am going to break down the "Intervention Theory in 3 phases...
How life became on Earth. Who are the Hominids, and a general conclusion. I will try to keep everything short. You guys are lucky I am pecking at the keyboard rather than screaming in some of your faces... =]
So, again, instead of me screaming..."WE ARE A GENETICALLY ENGINEERED SPECIES.. WANT PROOF!?!" in your faces like I normally do to people, Please check out any other breaking news, and hopefully return and continue on down below for some more shocking research.
The supreme arrogance of religious thinking is that a carbon-based bag of mostly water on a speck of ironsilicate dust around a boring dwarf star in a minor galaxy in an unfashionable suburb of (our) supercluster would look up at the sky and declare: “It was all made so that I could exist!” Peter Walker
Statements made by alternative researchers like me are automatically contradicted by scientists insisting we are not simply wrong, but stupidly wrong. They further insist we have no right to challenge their cherished beliefs because our only “credentials” are an unwarranted faith in our ability to discern truth from nonsense.
[This doesn’t refer to all scientists. Some still willingly risk reputation and security to explore topics that defy dogma. However, they are few.] Every point I discuss is supported by facts in available research, but I am often criticized by skeptics. Why? Because the issues I discuss are long-lived sacred cows to mainstream sciences.
Creationists of all kinds, which includes the smarter, more reasonable, and typically wellcredentialed Intelligent Design proponents, insist the only answer to questions about the origins of life or humans is: “God did it!”
Darwinists of all stripes insist with equal zeal that their pet theory of evolution best explains how life originated. Their 150-year-old dogma asserts: “It just happened—poof!—like magic!” After the magic moment when life kick-started itself into existence, it initiated a self-contained and imperceptibly slow-but-steady growth into ever more complex forms, until those reached the apex of an arduous climb—humanity.
In contrast, Interventionists like me and my hero Lloyd Pye, anchor our search for origins on evidence rather than faith, on logic rather than magic. We don’t think that God did it, or that life spontaneously generated.
For us, evidence and logic point to the same “outside intervention” Intelligent Designers see. However, where they feel the only outside source of intervention must be God (whom they are careful to not mention by name), we suggest another, bolder explanation: “They did it!”
Who are “They”? The currently favored term is Aliens—non-human, non-Earth-based entities. With Lloyd Pye's permission to cliff most of his material, I will try to make a valid point... That we, as a species are in fact an oddball of mother nature.
The sad truth is that in every field of science, Young Turks have to serve their leaders when those leaders are the oldest, crustiest, and most conservative members of the field. Then, when those old “defenders of the faith” die out, what were once Young Turks take over for them and are forced to defend the same bankrupt faith.
Now, what about the origin of life? When did it occur? How did it occur? The mainstream gives two options and rejects a third:
(1) They accept as a possibility Undirected Panspermia. This is the idea that life “drifts” across space carried on asteroids or meteors that crashed into Earth.
(2) They support the idea that life originates by Spontaneous Generation. This idea is that life was created by sheer chance when a lightning bolt struck a “warm pond” (a term coined by Charles Darwin) filled with what came to be called “primordial soup,” a form of witches’ brew containing the “building blocks” of life.
Experts insist that somehow, someway, those original molecules managed to spontaneously reassemble into ever more complex molecules that somehow, someway, formed themselves into the single cells of the earliest life forms.
The fact that spontaneous self-assembly into complex molecules does not happen now, nor can it be forced to happen in coherent patterns in the most sophisticated laboratories on Earth, should be an indication that this theory, like the gravity-based one of cosmologists, needs work. British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle summed up the problem neatly when he said the likelihood of a lightning bolt striking water to assemble simple molecules into a life form was equal to the likelihood of a tornado sweeping through a junkyard and correctly assembling a jetliner.
The third option, which the mainstream rejects, is Directed Panspermia, which is similar to undirected Panspermia, except that the first life forms were guided here by higher intelligence. Thus, the mainstream hangs its hat on a miracle worthy of God when a lightning bolt struck the “primordial soup” to forge basic molecules into simple life—or on a similarly unlikely miracle that simple life forms came here on meteors. The lightning-bolt-hits-primordial-soup theory is still taught around the world, but not because mainstream scientists regard it seriously. They know as well as anyone how absurd it sounds.
Unfortunately, they have no choice but to fake conviction about it because they have no other theory to take its place. Some few scientists do admit they have no plausible idea, but most of them insist on riding the same old lame horse. Like the equations of the cosmologists, which required “miracles” to make sense, the same is true for biologists. The same kinds of miracles are fudge-factored in to explain life, when they have answers that are as easy to grasp as the difference between gravity and electricity.
In the same way cosmologists stick with the mistake of gravity, biology’s mistake, the core of its ossified dogma, is that every aspect of life on Earth must be accounted for in a “natural” manner, in strictly terrestrial terms. To explain life by using “outside” factors is unacceptable, so alternate ideas are automatically discounted.
Its like the "Guilty until proven Innocent" of science.
Despite automatic rejection, alternative ideas for the origin of life make a much stronger case than biological dogma. Such ideas also hew far more closely to the actual facts of life than do the fantasies created by imaginative scientists. Life did not start by accident when lightning struck a warm pond of primordial soup. Its start was so unlikely, experts can’t begin to explain it rationally, so rather than try, they obscure it.
What Happened At 2.0 BYA? As if on cue, with oxygen present after the end of the first Snowball Earth, a new form of life appeared to live alongside the prokaryotes—the eukaryotes. To open minds, this could suggest that the Intragalactic Terraformers were also Life-Managers, or Overseers, or Manipulators.
I use the term “Terraformers” as others use "aliens,” which produces negative connotations in most media. “Terraformers” is more abstract and benign. Also, more than one kind can exist. If they are real, and if they did in fact develop life and/or humans on Earth, then who are they? And who created them? This leads to an endless hall of mirrors echoing the same impossible-to answer question: Who are their creators???
This brings up what is known as First Cause, the starting place for all of everything—of life and existence itself. No human actually knows anything about it, and we probably never will. I don’t know, religion doesn’t, and scientists certainly don’t. Yet those institutions are forced by their intense rivalry for hearts and minds to pretend that they actually do know the answer. Don’t believe either side. Religion and science stand eyeball-to-eyeball and are too frightened to blink, much less acknowledge any doubts or weaknesses in their propaganda. But, luckily, I don’t have those restrictions. I can busy myself trying to discover what is actually knowable.
As with the prokaryotes, many kinds of the new eukaryotes arrived suddenly, and exactly when their much larger, vastly more complex singlecell bodies were capable of thriving in the new environment created by prokaryote metabolism. Biologists insist this is how classic Darwinian evolution works: when an environment presents an open niche, Nature will fill it. Unfortunately for them, evolution also requires “precursors,” forms of life that provide a base upon which to branch off a new form to fill an empty niche. Prokaryotes are many things, but they can’t be precursors for eukaryotes. A staggering number of physical and biological differences between them make a direct Darwinian “descent with modification” impossible.
It couldn’t happen, especially not “overnight,” which is seemingly how fast they arrived. Yet another miracle! Because direct descent can’t be used, our everimaginative “experts” came up with a flight of fancy equal to anything the cosmologists ever concocted to “explain” gravity’s weaknesses.
They suggest eukaryotes must have originated when larger prokaryotes became "cannibalistic" and consumed smaller ones, turning those into various functioning parts within their bodies, including the crucial, essential mitochondria. Is that theory likely? Not at all, not even in the ballpark. Understand that a long list of complex differences exists between the prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Size is the most obvious one, but an amazing array of metabolic advances (including an encapsulated nucleus) appeared with them.
This idea is wild speculation, but many strident people with a “Ph.D.” after their names insist it had to occur, and they are not shy about calling on “magic” and “miracles” to make their story plausible. It’s not quite the same as “God did it all!” but it does seem to come dubiously close.
However the eukaryotes appeared, though, they were a huge leap forward from the prokaryotes.
End: "Part one"
START: "Part Two"
What Followed The Eukaryotes?
Indestructible anaerobic bacteria (prokaryotes) appeared on the seething proto-Earth as soon as conceivably possible to start transforming the biosphere into something more habitable. Similarly, eukaryotes appeared precisely at the end of 300 million years of Huronian Snowball Earth, during which the planet’s entire surface was blanketed by ice to a mile or more thick! Thus, the appearance of the eukaryotes seems timed with astounding good fortune—literally another miracle!—since they arrived precisely when they were capable of thriving on Earth.
Imagine a simple chart with stages showing the amount of oxygen on Earth since prokaryotes arrived to begin creating it. Stage 1 shows the 1.4 billion years prokaryotes needed to oxidize the free iron while the Earth’s surface cooled. Stage 2 had two parts. The first started at 2.4 bya, after the free iron was oxidized into rust and the GOE pumped oxygen into the air to react with methane to create the Huronian Snowball Earth. That ended at 2.1 bya. The second half of Stage 2 saw arrival of the huge new eukaryotes, which started producing more oxygen than ever before. It ended at 1.85 bya, when prokaryotes and eukaryotes seemed to stabilize in their environments and thrived. Stage 3 saw oxygen created at a steady rate to do another job as crucial as oxidizing free iron. After the 1.4 billion years needed to do that in Stage 1, another billion years—1.8 to .8 bya— saw oxygen from prokaryotes and eukaryotes build an Ozone Layer to shield the land and near surface of the sea below the atmosphere. Complex life cannot exist without that shield. It absorbs nearly all of the Sun’s ultraviolet light, which is deadly harmful to most living species. Unless free iron is oxidized and an ozone layer is established, no protoplanet can ever support complex higher life forms. Another miracle!
Stage 4 extends from .8 bya to .6 bya, and that is the Cryogenian Period, a series of what is now considered to be three separate Snowball Earth episodes, but which may have been one extended 200 million-year-long episode, like the 300 million-year-long Huronian Glaciation. In Stage 4, oxygen built up under the insulation created by the ozone layer, and with increased oxygen came the next huge step forward in the history of life. Like the bacteria, these creatures appeared at the ideal time, precisely when the environment could support advanced bodies. Stage 5 began at 600 mya and continues to this day. The large upward spike in the amount of oxygen was during the Age of Dinosaurs, when enormous beasts prowled the earth and equally enormous trees and plants covered the land. This, however, leapfrogs our story. Let’s return to the next forms of life to join the prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Around 600 mya they suddenly appeared in the planet’s waters and flourished. They were the Earth’s first complex, multicelled organisms—the Ediacaran Biota.
Exactly like prokaryotes and eukaryotes before them, the ediacarans appeared “overnight” in the fossil record in a wide range of varieties. Just as the eukaryotes followed a global freeze, ediacarans appeared at the end of another—the Cryogenian period, which was the 200 million years (800 mya to 600 mya) that saw either one extended Snowball Earth, or a series of three. Also as with both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the ediacarans appeared at exactly the optimum time for them to do so! Yet another “miracle”! Even more miraculous is that to this day no scientists can say with certainty exactly what ediacarans were or how they lived. They were morphologically distinct from all the prior and later forms, making them utterly unique in the history of life on Earth—a lingering mystery. Plants…or animals? Nobody knows. They had a variety of shapes—discs, tubes, fronds, bags, even quilts—but did they have mouths? Don’t know. Any digestion? Don’t know. Were they mobile or stationary? Don’t know. There are imaginative interpretations of how they might have looked, but all of those are guesswork. The key to Ediacaran biota is that in some still unknown manner they seem to pave the way for much more complex animals with skeletons— both internal and external—in the phase of life that followed their enigmatic 50 million year reign as the highest forms of life on Earth. ***** If we readily challenge conventions, we might accept Intragalactic Terraformers made all this happen as it did—well coordinated and on time. Yet, time is big a problem. How could they take such an incredibly long view of this project? How could they initiate a process that requires billions of years to complete? The answer has to be “experience,” which means they have no concept of time as we humans understand it. If indeed they were out and about, seeding life throughout the galaxy, they had to know what they were doing, so projects requiring billions of years would have to be par for their course.
Naturally, mainstream science assures us this scenario could not possibly have happened, but is that opinion based on facts or ingrained bias?
Regardless of how and why the reign of the ediacarans ended, we know what came next. It was without doubt the most bizarre event in the history of life on Earth—from then until now. It came with no fanfare, no end of a glaciation, no global catastrophe that left its impact in the fossil record. As with the end of the Ediacaran cycle, the next dominant phase of life on Earth, it is said, “Seems to have just . . . happened.” It is known as the Cambrian Explosion, so called because it was a literal explosion of life forms that replaced the multi-cellular, multiformed, inexplicable ediacarans with a broad range of astonishingly sophisticated creatures. These are the first “advanced” animals, the first bilaterians, which had left and right sides to go along with the tops and bottoms of the radially symmetrical ediacarans. (Very few of the early bilaterians survive today, the most familiar of them probably the uniquely shelled Nautilus). We’re talking endoskeletons and exoskeletons; mouths, digestive tracts, and anuses; very large to very small species; predators and prey; and reproduction by male/female sexual relations. It was a bonanza of new species with enormous complexity. In fact, most animal phyla known today appeared during the Cambrian explosion. This inexplicable eruption of life was a giant leap toward the myriad of forms on Earth now, and once again the whole of it came seemingly overnight, seemingly “out of nowhere” . . . a miracle so miraculous, we need a special word for it . . . a word with Biblical heft and scale:
Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious!
Naturally, mainstreamers struggle valiantly to account for this stubbornly inexplicable event in terms that suit the dogma that only “natural” explanations are acceptable for consideration. They point out that if the Cambrian explosion required a million years to complete, that is not unduly rapid.
Okay, let’s do some quick math:
Prokaryotes appeared between 4.0 and 3.5 bya. Let’s say 3.75 bya. The Cambrian began at 550 mya. 3.75 bya minus 550 mya equals 3.2 billion years with single-celled bacteria and a bit with ediacarans, and then boom! Most animal phyla! Some say the Cambrian explosion occurred in only a few thousand years. Other insist it lasted a million or more. Compared to the 3.2 billion years that came before it, even a million years is .0003%! In relative terms, it’s an eye blink! Thus, scientists are left with only verbal fast shuffles and befuddling sleights of mind as they explain a phenomenon that in “natural,” purely Darwinian terms is as humbug as humbug gets. Mainstreamers are not entirely blind to facts, but they lack other options. Like cosmologists, they must defend an ossified dogma that paints them into a corner where the truth doesn’t fit.
Once again, it seems appropriate to suggest that Intragalactic Terraformers, or entities like them, were making Earth “livable” virtually from Day One, while taking an exceptionally long view of the project from its inception until right now. Let us recall that the primitive life forms were forged in different crucibles. Prokaryotes came to Earth during an asteroid bombardment. Both eukaryotes and ediacarans followed intervals of profound freeze—the Snowball Earth episodes. Next came the Cambrian biota, which appeared with no noticeable stress on the planet. It seems as if their time had simply arrived, and when it did, whoever or whatever was in charge of the terraforming decided to bring them on board so they could replace the expendable ediacarans. Aside from the indestructible prokaryotes and eukaryotes, complex life forms live essentially unchanged until extinction events destroy many species, which are then replaced. Now we will focus on how extinctions shaped our planet. Five major and several minor extinction events have occurred during the 500 million years of advanced life on Earth.
In each case, the era ends with the extinction event bearing its name, then a new era begins.
1) Ordovician — 443 million years ago 2) Devonian — 354 mya, 89 million years later 3) Permian — 248 mya, 106 million years later 4) Triassic — 206 mya, 42 million years later 5) Cretaceous—65 mya, 141 million years later
Whether major or minor, each extinction opens up ecological niches that within a few thousand years invariably contain brand new life forms, creatures not seen before in the fossil record. As always, newbies seem to magically appear, seemingly overnight, which would be accepted as fact if science could afford to consider facts.
During each extinction event, when hundreds or thousands of species are wiped out, others find ways to survive and move into the next era. The environment would be transformed by such an event, sometimes radically, but some of the old species could still survive in it, so they would. Naturally, the new species that appeared could survive in the changed environment, whatever that might be. Imagine Terraformers analyzing each extinction event, waiting for equilibrium to establish, deciding which new species could survive in the new environment, then making certain exactly such creatures were delivered.
Once again, Intervention Theory provides the most logical explanation for what occurs in the aftermath of each extinction. Equally so, no one can blame scientists for doing what they can to disdain and disparage radical ideas, especially when the ideas make them seem close-minded and even dim-witted. They are not dim-witted. They simply have an ossified dogma to uphold, and they must defend it without compunction.
How Does Science Defend Its Position?
Mainstream scientists know that time after time the history of life on Earth shows sudden, “outof- the-blue” appearances followed by extended periods of stasis, which is “staying the same.” Stasis is punctuated by extinction events, which some species will survive intact, while others disappear and new species seemingly designed as substitutes materialize to take their places.
Naturally, mainstreamers insist this is proof of evolution where in each case random mutations are “selected” by environmental pressures that result in the modification of a current species. In an image I seen, eight species of Hawaiian honeycreepers show the same kind of genetic radiation that Darwin recognized in finches on the Galapagos Islands. They all remain a twig off the branch of the original species of bird, altering the necessary parts of their bodies to accommodate specific environmental niches. Eventually, modifications will accumulate in a species until it is altered enough to be no longer recognizable as a member of the initial species that spawned it. It has then become a new subspecies by virtue of those “natural” mutations.
This is microevolution, or “evolution in parts,” a common and well-recorded phenomenon. It was first noticed by Darwin, who extrapolated the idea that it could lead to macroevolution, a gradual change of one species into a distinctly different species, by means similar to microevolution, but over much longer time frames.
Macroevolution has never been recorded. No honeycreepers ever turned into finches, or viceversa. Darwinists have looked for evidence of it since 1859, when Charles Darwin wrote in his landmark Origin of Species that intermediate forms had to be found, or his theory should be abandoned. For 153 years, his followers have diligently sought those ghosts of species past.
Another serious problem with evolution is that not every species will gradually morph into any other form by accumulating positive mutations under the influence of environmental pressures.
The Coelacanth fish ranged worldwide 200 mya (fossil record). Now it is confined to the Indian Ocean (very diverse). Thus, it endured tremendous pressures to speciate, but did not.
An interesting double-edged sword wielded by Darwinists is their claim that evolution moves at a grindingly slow pace. As we have noted in considerable detail, this renders evolution null and void as an explanation for the “overnight” appearances of Earth’s earliest life forms. This is an awkward yoke around Darwinist necks.
On the other hand, the glacial pace of change by random mutation is the most critical part of the “proof” Darwinists promote to establish the illusion that macroevolution actually functions. Here is the scenario as they insist it plays out: Genetic mutations occur randomly among all members of a species. Occasionally, one of those mutations confers some advantage for better chances of survival. Those individuals are “fitter” than their peers, so they have the capacity, and maybe an opportunity, to pass those “better” mutations into their gene pool. Now comes the “magic” part. It turns out that those macroevolutionary changes in a species’ gene pool occur so incredibly slowly, over tens to hundreds of thousands of years, there is no way to actually confirm them in real time. “Oops! Sorry! Wish we could oblige you with some solid evidence, but that’s impossible. It happens too slowly. You just have to take our word for it because we’re experts and you can trust what we say.” Or words to that effect….
But can we trust them? No, not really. We all have seen a diagram of the evolution of horses, which the mainstream uses to “prove” horses macroevolved from primitive to modern. Despite how widely known and accepted these images are, as far back as the 1940s a father of evolutionary science, George G. Simpson, said: “The uniform (and) continuous transformation of Hyracotherium into Equus, so dear to the hearts of generations of textbook writers, (has) never happened in nature.” And he was right. In the book Icons of Evolution by Intelligent Designer, Jonathan Wells, he shows how that widely-preached example—and nine more of the most avidly supported mainstream “proofs” of evolution—are complete and utter frauds.
Why is that? Why can’t scientists be trusted to live up to their own hype? To play fair with the facts, and to go wherever those facts lead them? Because they are saddled with a wide range of dogmas passed down from prior generations. To prop up those dogmas, especially the most vulnerable of them (evolution), science has no choice but to establish and maintain an aura of unquestioned authority. They insist everything had to evolve into everything else, so they bend and twist facts and figures in any way necessary to make that dogma convincing beyond doubt. I and other Interventionists do doubt, sincerely and profoundly. We take to heart the words of Don Marquis: “When people think you make them think, they will like you; but when you really make them think, they will hate you.” With the ease of access to information via the internet, there is little excuse any more for not actually thinking, and fact checking, whatever science proclaims as their “received wisdom.”
End: "Part Two"
I will continue this investigation once again.
At a later time...
In the meantime it all boils down to....
FUCK CONSENSUS REALITY.
Any one of you can do this yourself. Translate the 4th tablet of the Sumerian Creation Epic...The Enuma E'lish.
You will find that the people of Sumeria, plausibly answer 6 of the worlds toughest astronomical, and geological questions!
Scientists of all trades do not genuinely know why our planet looks so much different, and has tectonic plates unlike the others.
They do not know where the asteroid belt came from, nor do they know why strange little Pluto is around 20 degrees off our stellar ecliptic.
First. Earth was dubbed "Tiamat" in the epic. They then say Nibiru (who is circling the sun clockwise on a 3600 year orbit) crashed into Tiamat. Tiamat cracked like an eggshell. This answers 4 of the questions I believe. With Pluto having been illustrated by the Sumerians to be a moon of Saturn, before Nibiru pulled it away.
They also say that during the collision, in the "mingling of their waters" Nibiru passed life to Tiamat. (life being early bacterium)
They also say when looking down from the heavens unto Uranus and Neptune, they seem like "blue green watery twins"... how did they know that?
Among other things...
(Yeah, I can write about 10 pages of red flags the people of Sumeria bring to the table, but that's another thread in entirety.)
People. If you believe in Bigfoot... you believe in the Intervention theory.
There exists here a case in point here if you haven't found it already.
We are genetically engineered. Proof?
We are off of the flow chart to the natural scheme of life on this planet. Proof?
If we "evolved" from four types of hominids...
and if there are are 4 types of bigfoot on the earth?
Why Can’t Hunters Find Them?
The Panda’s story is a perfect comparison with hominoids because they live in the same kind of habitat (montane forest) and terrain (mountains) as bigfoot/sasquatch and the almas/kaptar types, but their mountains are covered with bamboo. Written references to hominoids go back for hundreds of years, and such mentions are found in nearly every country. But the mainstream of each century has dismissed them as useless prattle. The same was once true for Pandas.
Ancient Chinese manuscripts often mentioned a creature known to them as a Bei-Shung, which meant white-bear. They were usually described precisely as they turned out to be: black-andwhite bears living in the rugged mountains of Sichuan, eating nothing but bamboo shoots. Every Western authority “knew” bears were omnivores, so the bamboo shoots were laughed off. Also, they “knew” bears could be black or brown or white, but surely not the black-andwhite coloring described by Chinese natives.
Most importantly, no Western authority had ever braved the rigors of traveling to China to study the matter, so they felt amply qualified to pronounce the Panda an amusing local legend. Finally, after 2,000 years of unaccepted reports, in 1869 a French missionary/naturalist named Father Armand David made his way to Sichuan Province. Like most naturalists, he knew of the legendary Bei-Shung, and he believed “official” assurances that duotoned, bamboo-eating bears were a highly embellished Chinese fable. Ultimately, Father David saw the full skin of one hung on a wall in a village elder’s home!
Finding out where it came from, he hurried to the Bei-Shung’s reported habitat, a bamboo forest high in a forbidding mountain range. Upon arrival, he tried to hire local hunters to bring him a living specimen. The locals were hesitant, saying the Bei-Shung lived in very rugged terrain and were extremely difficult to find and kill, much less to try to capture one. Father David took their reluctance as a ploy to extract more money from him, so he offered a handsome bonus. Chinese were loathe to give offense, so these agreed to take a crack at it. In one of history’s great quirks of fate, after only twelve days the Chinese hunters returned with a living Bei-Shung they insisted had been secured only by astounding good fortune.
Their protestations seemed unlikely, but Father David didn’t care if they were embellishing the difficulty of their task. He knew their captive would make history worldwide, so he didn’t concern himself with the circumstances of its capture or the high price he had paid for it. For as great as Father David’s good fortune was with the capture, his luck soured in transporting his prize back to France. After a few days on a ship, the wild Bei-Shung became so agitated that it began ramming itself relentlessly against the cage bars, clearly intent on breaking free of captivity or dying in the effort to escape. For humanitarian and moral reasons, Father David had no choice but to euthanize it.
Having to kill his precious prize was a terrible blow to Father David, who found solace knowing he could still achieve his main goal of proving beyond doubt that the Bei-Shungs did exist. If he could do that much by himself, he knew, well-equipped field teams would follow with sufficient methods of extracting the living Bei- Shungs they would no doubt easily capture. He sent his “legend’s” preserved remains to a Paris Museum, creating a worldwide sensation. Presaging what will probably happen after the first hominoid is officially presented in our own time, the world’s foremost scientific institutions in 1870 entered into a race to decide who would put the first living Bei-Shung on display.
They sent legions of topnotch experts—hunters, trappers, and scientists—swarming through the mountainous regions of Sichuan, a region the size of Arizona or Italy. All waited anxiously to see who would be the first to bring one in…. And they waited . . . and waited. By 1900—31 years since Father David’s find—all museums that financed expeditions had long since given up. By 1910, western media had renamed the Bei-Shungs Giant Pandas, and scientists had shoved them back into the mists of “legend.”
Despite Father David’s stuffed specimen being as real as it ever was, 41 years without so much as a follow-up sighting convinced most experts the panda was now extinct. Why? Because the men who had searched for it were all highly experienced woodsmen and skilled trappers. Cavorting around bamboo forests in Sichuan’s mountains looking for phantom pandas became a frontier jaunt for daring sportsmen with time and money to burn, like U. S. President Teddy Roosevelt’s two sons, Teddy, Jr., and Kermit. In 1929, exactly 60 years after Father David’s misadventure, Teddy spied a panda in a tree and shot it, sending a bullet through that poor animal to puncture innumerable scientific egos, and giving it an iconic name—Teddy’s bear.
Guys... It took a whole generation of time to find a bear that is dumber than a box of rocks eating bamboo..
Again, whats the most annoying question to Interventionists? "If "Bigfoot" exists, then why don't they have bones and fossils!? Why haven't some hunters gone out and killed any?
#1. Did some of you know that there is not ONE FOSSILIZED BONE OF A CHIMPANZEE? It is almost impossible to manifest a fossil in such a dense active area of land with such high diversity and heat.
#2 OK! lets go find a Bigfoot! Lets start by foot-surveying 40% of the "uninhabited land" we do not populate, then lets finally conduct a thorough search through the vast expanse of the lower montane areas to try to find a nocturnal freak of nature, that is no doubt bigger, faster, stronger, and believe me... Smarter (in their element) than we are...
Again, We couldn't find a godforsaken bear eating bamboo for nearly 100 years, before we finally found one, they were considered mythological creatures.
With case in point, I will continue this thread tomorrow. I will first revise and proofread what I have already posted, then I will move on to the next phase. Thats if your interested of course.
