Re: Liars and horses and bears (oh my!)
My friend who believes in all this woo, just posted on Facebook that the fact that the samples from India and Bhutan matched Polar Bear is evidence for a Yeti type beast. Since there are no Polar bears there then the testing is flawed and that the scientists couldn't identify them so claimed they were polar bear, OR, this is just part of the whole big scientific conspiracy against believers of woo.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Yes, so the smart thing was to say the DNA matched a 50,000 year old polar bear (and not a modern one) rather than lump it in with the 'no DNA found' pile?
Personally I'd like to see the DNA results they got, but since they say 100% match, I suppose I could look up what they matched to.
this is just part of the whole big scientific conspiracy against believers of woo.
Or maybe part of the woo believers conspiracy against science? Clearly we need to consider the presence of a Third Hand?????
