It never pays to debate a cryptozoologist, even if the
expert has a ‘doctor’s degree’ from a cutting-edge cryptozoological research
center…one accredited by the Society of Supranormal Research…and located
somewhere deep in the heart of the mysterious Bayou.
I enjoy reading about Bigfoot and Loch Ness Monster
sightings. I also enjoy reading about the adventures of Frodo Baggins. But, after
a hundred years of alleged sightings, mysterious footprints, and unexplained
ripples, one should expect to see some actual footage of the beasts. Yes-some
actual documentation would be good.
Note: documentation is not a letter from one Mary Beth Clara
Lee Sara Bell who writes,
“I jest know’d it was the monster. I seeeeeeen it wit my own
eyes and Glory be, I’ll never be a doubter agin!”
This is not evidence. To do so is insulting to bona fide
researchers and English teachers everywhere. What this IS evidence of is a
poorly misguided soul who needs to get out of the trailer park more often.
Extinct Icthyosaurs and hirsute humanoids make great stories
and entertain the masses until tears flow and emotions run high. But sometimes wanting
to believe in cryptozoans, and sometimes even seeing cryptozoans through your
mind’s eye during an altered state of consciousness, does not mean your belief
is congruent with Reality.
Reality is consistent, it doesn’t change. When one’s belief
system fails to reflect Reality, it doesn’t mean the facts are wrong. It means
the belief system is flawed and should be examined closely to discover why
nothing ever happens the way one think it should happen.
Here are some cryptozoologists performing research.
