I've gotten into arguments and been called silly and a ton of other
things, but I can't say that I don't believe in bigfoots. And it's all
because of a freshman science course in college. The lesson regarded
how to prove something to be true or false. And bigfoots were the case
scenario. First, he began the lesson by asking us what evidence we'd
need in order to believe something. We went around the room and it was
all pretty normal stuff like being able to see it, physical evidence,
and things along that line.  Then he threw it all at us. All the
evidence we'd want. It was a small class, maybe 20 people, but I think
only one or two people didn't believe in the possibility of bigfoots.
It's been a while, but here's some of the evidence that I can
remember.

1) A video tape of a bigfoot walking through the woods. This is the
video that everyone has seen. But he broke it down to us and said that
scientists were unable to explain the movement of the bigfoot - it
couldn't be faked by a human wearing a costume becuase of how the
joints moved. And I can't remember why, but they also believed that it
was not a robot (it may have to do with boobs or something). (Visual
evidence)

2) Foot fossils from bigfoots and hair samples. I believe the state
was Oregon, but up in very tall trees, hair samples were found that
couldn't be matched to any existing species of animals.  I can't
remember the major signifcance of how they determined that by all
probabilities it was big foot hair. Also, there were dried footsteps
of a very large creature that couldn't be identified. (Physical
evidence)

3) I remember asking why there were no bones found of any bigfoots -
if dinosaur bones were found, how come bigfoot bones were never found.
The theory behind my instructors response was that bigfoots reside in
forests and forests have an environment in which bones decay quickly.
He cited Yellowstone park as an example and stated that for the
thousands of bears that live there bones are very rarely encountered.
And if the bigfoot community is small and widely dispersed, it would
be highly unlikely that bones were ever discovered.

I wish I could remember the rest because when it was all added up, it
was hard to say that bigfoots couldn't exist.
