The Possibility Of Bigfoot / Sasquatch
What does the Bible say about the possibility of
Bigfoot/Sasquatch?
.
Despite what "evidence" people have scraped together from the Bible, blurry photographs, or suspect footprints, there is just no solid proof that Sasquatch or Bigfoot truly exists. Maybe Sasquatch is just an undiscovered apeish animal native to mountain regions. This isn’t illogical as there are new discoveries made every day.

The Bible doesn’t
say anything directly about Bigfoot. It's extremely likely that Bigfoot
does NOT exist. And we should not make up theories simply because we wish them
to be true. Sure, Bigfoot is a fun legend to discuss and theorize about. But
when it comes to admitting the truth, we should always stand on the side of
God's.

All around the world, we can find legends
of hairy, bipedal, apeish humanoids.
In North America, this creature is commonly
known as Bigfoot or its Native American name, Sasquatch.
The name “Bigfoot” comes from its
purportedly huge feet that leave... big... foot... prints. (Oh, so clever!)
In other locales, we find stories of the
Yeti on the mountain slopes of Nepal, the Almas of Mongolia, and the Nuk-luk
wandering the Northwest Territories of the United States.
But is there any truth to these tales of
hairy creatures hiding in woods and mountainsides around the world?
Does the Bible ever mention any sort of
hairy creature fitting this description?
Some people believe Bigfoot is the ancient
evolutionary “missing link” between humans and apes.
Others believe that Bigfoot is what remains
of the prehistoric species Gigantopithecus, which was a 10-foot-tall giant ape
that lived in Asia.
King Kong's distant ancestor maybe?
Skeptics believe any alleged photographs of
Bigfoot are merely hoaxes pushing an unscientific agenda.
"Biblical"
Theories about Bigfoot
Weirdly enough, there's a significant group
of people who believe the Bible actually backs up the supposed existence of
Sasquatch.
Some theorists claim Bigfoot is descendent
from the Nephilim, Cain, or Esau.
There are even complex “Bible codes” based
on numeric sequences to find the Sasquatch in the Scriptures.
Since Esau was big and hairy (Genesis 25:25), some say his
descendants are men "of the
field" (Genesis
25:27).
Maybe Sasquatch is a "man of the field"?
In the context of Genesis 25, that would
mean that Bigfoot is a mighty hunter and proficient with weapons.
Seems like evidence of such a creature would
have been discovered by now, don't you think?
Other theorists
believe Bigfoot is a result of the curse God placed upon Cain to be “a restless wanderer on the earth” (Genesis 4:12).
Since Cain was cursed to be alone and
always on the move, some say Bigfoot meets that criteria.
The creature is reported to always be alone
and on the move. But then how does Bigfoot procreate?
Or is he supposed to be immortal?
The final theory surrounding Bigfoot and
the Bible is that some people claim he is a remnant of the Nephilim (Genesis 6:4).
The Nephilim were giants whose parents
consisted of a human mother and a fallen angel.
These theorists claim Bigfoot is a remnant
of the Nephilim or some new kind of creature that appeared down the family
line.
Would such creatures live peaceful, quiet
lives in total isolation?
Having the DNA of demons inside them?
The truth is that these are all just
theories that have been forced into a uncertain fantasies.
The Bible never specifically mentions a
beast of this sort, and the connections mentioned here are merely conjecture.
The
Truth about Bigfoot
Despite what "evidence" people
have scraped together from the Bible, blurry photographs, or suspect
footprints, there is just no solid proof that Sasquatch or Bigfoot truly
exists.
Of course, as much as it is the case with
dragons, we don't want to say this creature is 100% impossible.
Maybe Sasquatch is just an undiscovered
apeish animal native to mountain regions. This isn’t illogical as there are new
discoveries made every day.
However, we need to acknowledge that the
Bible doesn’t say anything directly about Bigfoot.
It's extremely likely that Bigfoot does NOT
exist.
And we should not make up theories simply
because we wish them to be true.
Sure, Bigfoot is a fun legend to discuss
and theorize about.
Some can't resist a good scary story about
Sasquatch while sitting around a campfire in the woods.
But when it comes to admitting the truth,
we should always stand on the side of God's truth (1 Timothy 4:7).
TL; DR
The Bible doesn’t say anything about
Bigfoot or Sasquatch.
Theories that Bigfoot comes from Cain,
Esau, or the Nephilim (Genesis
4:12; 6:4; 25:25)
are merely conjecture.
The most plausible explanation is that
Sasquatch is an undiscovered apeish animal indigenous to mountainous regions.
Bigfoot is a fun legend to discuss and theorize about, but when it comes to admitting the truth, we should always stand on the side of God's truth (1 Timothy 4:7).
