Christians, does it bother you that there's more tangible evidence for bigfoot/sasquatch/yeti than..?

your imaginary deity?

Update:

I thought I might get some responses that confused the words 'evidence' and 'proof'...but it was late for me so if anyone goes back to read this, here's a little clarification...

evidence for BF-footprints, hair/DNA samples, video footage

evidence of God: footprints (really evidence of humans living among dino's but since that belief is ONLY found in some denominations of Christian theology, I'm including it), sightings, visions in windows, on toast

The miracle locations are also attributed by pagans as healing waters/areas so it's not an Xian only thing.

In both cases, most has been debunked BUT not all the evidence for there being a 'bigfoot' like creature has...I'm not saying that's proof but if I was going to 'just believe' in one of the two, I would go with the Sasquatch.

At least it makes sense biologically.

Update 2:

@ mwtwdwgw, funny!

@ rodrigo...that argument would make more sense if I was talking about aliens...the claim is this deity intereferes with human life....there's nothing reliable for that at all

Update 3:

@ ftwasher, skepticsannotatedbible.com

it goes over why those prophecies are erroneous and why the extra-biblical 'evidence' of Jesus is flimsy, at best.

And using the Bible to verify that myth is no different than a Hindu saying their holy books verify any of their thousands of deities

Update 4:

@ Christian, since some buddhist monks can control their body temp's by meditating and some Hindu's can lie on a bned of nails...oh, yeah! some Muslims can babble incoherently when they go in a trance-that must mean they're ALL true, huh?

Update 6:

@ sunlight, gee-so sorry. I wonder how well that 'argument' worked with the people about to hang others they didn't think believed 'just so'.

    There actually is quite a bit of tangible evidence for the squatch. Not all of it proven to be a hoax, and some of it unable to be proven as a hoax. Enough to rank the concept among "the possible", even "somewhat likely".

    Squatch has a big edge of Yahweh because it's not logically contradictory and impossible.

    Proof

    There is more reason to believe in God, The Bible, and Jesus Christ than there is for any other world view.

    1/3 of the Bible is prophecy and 2/3 of that has happened. No other book of any religion or any other writing on earth can say that. People speaking different languages, from different social and economic backgrounds separated by hundreds and thousands of years, who didn’t know what the other people wrote, and the things they wrote agree, and happen. Two great places to look are Isaiah 53, and psalm 22

    Jesus fulfilled over 300 Old Testament Prophecies. The statistical odds for just 5 prophecies about the Messiah being fulfilled in one person are approximately one in a hundred million billion.

    There is more evidence for the existence of Jesus than there is for all other historical figures combined.

    We have eyewitness evidence

    Manuscript evidence

    Circumstantial evidence

    Outside source information, historians like Josephus

    Archeological evidence

    The evidence of the missing body of Jesus

    Miracles

    Answered prayer

    Changed lives

    If you develop a relationship with Christ his hand becomes so tangible that he completely transforms people. The reason you have no evidence is because you have never received him. You are like someone saying that love is an imaginary feeling just because you have never felt it. Learn to love and be loved and it will be real.

    You are up for a horrific awakening on the day you die and your spirit leaves you body, but then it will be too late to change anything. I can only hope that you will open your eyes and see the light before that day comes.

    No. I am Christian because that is how I was brought up, not because of my own personal choices.

    Why can't you guys and gals just leave us alone? You're entitled to your religion*, but that doesn't mean that you have to force it upon us or pick on us because we have different views from you.

    * Atheism is still technically a religion. It is what some people would call an "anti-religion", but it still counts as a sort of religion.

    It bothers me which you assume we've a "obscure, unwell-defined concept". Do you have information there isn't any Heaven? Nope. you do not have something extra to grant than a "obscure, unwell-defined concept." does not that form of make you sense (no longer fell) such as you forgot to income for a attempt and deservedly failed it?

    Are you saying 99.9999% of the universe has yet to have evidence for it too just because we don't have the technology to observe it?

    Actually, I don't think you have any tangible evidence for Bigfoot.

    That means I have you beat.
