I believe you are confusing saying 'one believes that all is yet to be discovered' to saying 'one has definitive proof'.1) Taliban look exactly like every other human that inhabits the region allowing them to blend in with the populace when necessary . It's a lot more complicated than shooting every brown person on sight.
2) Even considering point #1 thousands have been captured / detained /killed.
How luxurious of a point to occupy is " we'll just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't it exist" ? While that's true in a sense , it certainly doesn't bolster the case , which oddly enough proponents of things like this try to make it do. In What other scenario does NOT discovering proof of something steel your resolve further.
Ask yourself what it would take for the question to be settled? A starbucks every 200 ft in the cascades? Like a religious person a big foot believer must combine blind faith with ever raising burden of " proof" .
With all due respect , From where I'm sitting It's a romantic ( kinda silly) dalliance in a fantasy.
While I have never made the claim to being a bigfoot believer, and have gone so far as to claim it is a romantic notion, I will stand to say their is enough scientific data to support the remote possibility of such a creature existing. I and many other posters have presented fossil data which presents three possible candidates (Gigantopithecus, Homo Heidelbergensis, and the short faced bear). I and many other posters have pointed out the vast areas of sparely populated land throughout North America and other parts of the world. I and many others have given examples just how easy it is for something that wishes to remain hidden can remain hidden. I and many other have given examples local landscapes can support a large omnivore. On top of these points there are historic and modern day eyewitness accounts of contact with these creatures.
While the above being said, agree the evidence is thin. However it does not make the evidence nonexistent. And with that said I have to accept the possibility of Bigfoot existing.
