Copy pasta-ing a thread I made two years ago, because this forum needs less sucky topics.

This does seem to be related to Nessie. While I do not have enough scientific knowledge to say for sure what these creatures are, it seems within possibility that they are descended from dinosaurs (with less evolution than other creatures).
As deep and vast as the oceans are, who is to say they aren't? For all we know, these creatures hibernate for long periods of time, and then, on occasion, venture to the surface.
Well all the possibilities that you listed are possible, genetic mutation, hoax, even real there could be many sea creatures out there that has yet to be seen on a more basis as the whales, sharks etc. yet, if there are such creatures would they not hide knowing how humans may treat them from the past and even now humans hunt down whales and seals etc just inhumane, maybe if there are such creatures they are just smarter. anything can be possible in my opinion.
well chances are there are more of them out there, i mean what are the odds that there is only one member of a species
There are creatures evolving constantly from water to land and it shouldn't be too surprising that a creature like Nessy are found , however from the look of the photograph, the creature seems to have a very odd-shaped head so it makes it look questionable. Almost looks identical to an Apatosaurus.
see all i see in the picture is something like on a Rorschach test
while im not a person to rule things out, i think nessie is pretty much done in. they did a full sonar scan of loch ness a few years back, and didnt find anything of interest, much less a breeding population of animals.
also they estimate that the loch doesnt have enough fish in it to support such large creatures as the monster if it did exist.
as for actual "sea" monsters, i certainly think its possible.

Perhaps, like other animals, the deep sea creatures return to a place to consumate and then go home where it's safe. I want to believe that there is more in this world than what science can justify. Science is man-made, proven perhaps, but created by man. Man is flawed. What if a slight tilt to the axis on which we spin ... it changes everything... just because we can't see it does not mean it does not exist... these creatures have left an impact on those who saw them... just as the wind leaves an impact during a tornado... or as it caresses your skin on a gentle day... niave? perhaps... I won't even argue that... but if this is all there is... why bother? Go stand at the ocean... does it make you feel small?
science is only a method of asking a question, and then testing possible answers to the question.
if the answer put forth doesnt add up, its disgarded, and if it fits, its kept.
ofcoarse science can be manipulated to create a fraud such as piltdown man, or global warming, but if used as just a tool and the raw data is not slanted for political or personal gain, then its the best way to study a problem and discover the actual answer.
