Bigfoot, Dogman, Lizard Man, Moth Man, God. Which is more likely?

[nobspeople]

Yeti. Yowie. Grassman. Skunk Ape. There are said to be types of sasquatches - bigfoot as popularized by media over the last 40-ish years.
Dogman
Lizard man
Nessie (Loch Ness monster), Champ and Ogopogo.
Mothman
Even flying humanoids

All of these cryptids have claimed experiencers as well as evidence (photos, videos, tracks, verification of indigenous people from scientific documentation, etc) - some even have potential fossil records to prove they're possible.
While there have been proven fakes (see famous Nessie photo), not all evidence is proven fake.

All of these have more 'evidence' for them than God. There's no footprints of God. No photos or videos or fossil record evidence. The best we have is personal experiences (which, while many hold true fundamentally, there are variances in the how, where and what of the experience), a few claims here-n-there showing 'proof' of a work of God (how many times has Noah's Ark been found?) and a book written by people said to have been inspired by God.


As silly of a comparison as it sounds, there does seem to be more non-anecdotal evidence of Nessie, Bigfoot, Dogman, etc. than God with there being MUCH more believers in God than any of the cryptids.

So does this mean the ultimate outcome (eternal heaven) mean more to people than actual knowledge of something in the here and now?

There's no footprints of God. No photos or videos or fossil record evidence.

Ahem.

We have the next best thing: The footprint of the first human on earth: Adam

(Or maybe its from Buddha or Shiva)

No Matter! Joseph Smith unearthed the Skeleton of Lamanite Chieftain Zelph!

So there ARE fossil records (or at least this one)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelph#: ... 0Mound%208.

We may have no photo of "god", though we may have a real photo of Joseph Smith himself - And that is almost the same as a photo of god, cause Joseph Smith was the greatest Prophet of all time. (He himself wrote that fact into the bible, so it should be true!)

Said that, I harbor the suspicion that Mothman was a man-made flying construct. Some sort of remote controlled model airplane with two searchlights (looking like glowing eyes).

I've seen a few attempts to prove that Jesus was a Venusian. It's surprising how convincing it can be to mix up speculation, a bit of interpretation (Loaves and fishes? Water into wine? "Tea, Earl Grey, no sugar". Jesus ascended?" Beam me up, Scotty, her dad just came home") and mix in a few necessary lies...it's justified as it's true anyway (they both do it, religious and UFO apologetics). The Method is quite fascinating, a mental trick to knock skepticism off balance and, once the click -over is accomplished, faithbased denial of anything and everything sees to the rest. It is the same with UFO apologetics as with Bible apologetics.

In fact I have a vid (1) I really like as it shows to anyone with their specs on the dove up the shirt, the rabbit down the trousers, the cards peeping out of the shirt -cuff; and to any with a few atheist answers in their hand the ballon - like leap of faith from doubting science to Christianity is pretty clumsy, and yet I see it done more effectively with Ray Comforts 'have you sinned' spiel. They rely on cultural pump - priming to guide you to the only religion the culture of the West ensured we get exposed to. The trick, the scam, the Lie is to pretend there is only one religion on offer.
