Dinosours existed.

Just because you cant find one doent mean they are
not still around.

The earth is 75 percent water - do you think we know every
animal that lives in the sea.

anything over a few miles down has never been seen.

THERE IS NO BETTER ARGUMENT THAN MY OWN VERY SCARY PERSONAL ENCOUNTER.
I am English and on my first visit to Scotland this was the experience that made me absolutely certain IT or THEY do exist(s).
I had not heard until recently that Nessie is a plesiasaur, or a giant eel.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAW when I had this scary experience in a vastly smaller, nearby loch. Four of us went swimming and I got a little separated them. It was very dark, almost black water with very little vegetation around it and was very still and quiet when suddenly, quite close to me, the body of this enormous thing with a dark and smooth body like a really giant eel - I would say about seven feet or more in girth - very briefly arched right out of the water without making a sound and disappeared again. Only I saw it and I yelled a warning to the others and rapidly got out. They stayed in thinking I was fooling around totally ignoring my obvious state of shock.
It convinced me that there is a monster and probably others and very much larger than what I saw, lurking in Loch Ness and the many other lochs. But that's what happens - a sighting is made, no one else sees it and then there´s disbelief and sceptism. I know there have been many searches and investigations of Loch Ness but if these were conducted in this tiny shallow water loch and other smaller ones there would doubtlessly be more positive results as they would be less elusive. And I am sure the ones in the larger locks will be found to be may times the size of this one which was probably just a baby one. In a sense I do not want them found - I think it better they be left in peace. BUT AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE I AM ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED THEY DO EXIST.

Well,

1). All the eye witness accounts. That many people can't be fibbing or hallucinating!

2). It lines up with the true account of how we got here - the Bible's take (Creationism).

3). Sightings & photos of other such creatures worldwide, like "Champ", "Ogopogo" and others in countries from Ireland to Japan; from Oregon to Lake Erie to Florida.

There still finding new species even today, NZ they have found 5 new fish species this year and countless species off insects, wait till they start researching the antartic more thoroughly and the deep trenches off the ocean, NZ have fished up giant squid on countless occasions the last one the length off a school bus and caught half way through this year. So who really knows what is laying in wait in the ocean.

well, not all mythical creatures actually might not have or not existing. there is a scientifical explanation for this. there are animals or creatures that are still not discovered. there is also a branch of science dedicated for this.

what is hard to believe are the ones like creatures turning to invisible or maybe leprechauns. well, i do praise people who have raised these dumb theories and keep it alive for the past centuries.

but, have you ever wonder why different countries have their different versions of mythical creatures? or why they have different species?

europe is to vampires
japan is to yokai
irish is to leprecahun
egypt is to sphinx
philippines is to manananggal
roman is to zeus
cristians is to Jesus
satanists is to satan
buddhists is to budha
japanese pervs is to tentacles
emo is to barbie dolls

america is to bush.

Go to wikipedia - that should have some reasons.

EDIT

Look up cryptozoology - that is the study of these kind of creatures (loch ness monster, big foot, etc...)

It's really hard to persuade anyone to believe something if you yourself don't actually believe, and more importantly is generally accepted as being false.

I suggest you change topic, maybe something about why marijuana is illegal and tobacco isn't. (because of money)

1) It is impossible to prove the nonexistence of anything
2) People for some reason want to believe in things that are fantastic.
