Default RE: Mountain lion in PA RUMOR??

Everyone is waiting to see your proof of Pluto.
No, everyone is waiting to see your proof that Moiuntain Lions exist in PA. That's what this thread is about. Not planets, moons and God. And BTW if your 41 and can't come up with any other reason to believe that other planets exist than "enhanced photographs" maybe ask your Jr. High daughter to give you some ideas. I'm pretty sure she may have studied a bit about astronomy in school and may be able to enlighten you. And by the way as early as the late 1600's Galileo knew Jupiter existed and had already discovered 4 moons orbiting it. Newton had even determined the mass of all the known planets at that time. The existence and much of the physical properties of many of the planets had been prooved long before photography had been invented. There findings were accepted because they were "verifiable" by other scienteists. QuiteUNLIKE your mountain lion claims that can't be verified by any reliable source. But like I said, we're getting way off topic, go talk to your daughter. I'msure she'll be able to help you.

One last thing. A photograph can indeed be evidence that something exists. But not all photographs necessarily are evidence of what a person claims the photo is evidence of. Many so called photos of Mt. Lions in PA and NY are simply faked. Others are indeed pictures of Mt. Lions but simply weren't taken in P.A. or NY. So far there are no photos in either PA or NY that have been verified to be legitamate. That is, clearly taken in the state they claim to be taken and not altered and verifiable by a legitamate source like the NYDEC or PGC or a university or the like. Not the Eastern Courgar Foundation!

Here is a good example of a pic that went around in NY not long ago that people claimed to be proof of ML's here. The picture is unaltered but if you look at the rear of the deer you will see it is a mule deer. Don't have many of those in NY either!
