Is there really an abominable snowman?
” because the answer would not be “The Abominable Snowman is a mammal,” but simply “Yes, the Abominable Snowman exists.” Who are they to set rules that exclude such questions? “But,” comes the rejoinder, “what we meant was that you can’t assert the existence of something that is absolutely indescribable, because then you wouldn’t know what it was you were trying to say exists. That is, “A yasluvex exists” is meaningless, if someone asks, “What is a yasluvex?” and you answer, “There’s no answer to that questions, because yasluvexes can’t be described in any way.” But the God people talk about is not such that he has no properties. We will see that the one we assert exists has the main property of being infinite, but is also unchangeable, spiritual, and various other things. So what’s the problem? “But these so-called ‘properties’ are either undefined, or have contradictory definitions.” Not so, as we will see.

With his team, he hoped to prove once and for all whether the yeti, alias the abominable snowman, was a real or imaginary creature. The problem is now settled. There is no yeti, no abominable snowman, and there never was, Sir Edmund s team proved that tracks, said to be made by the yeti, were actually made by bunny like animals. A skull, said to be that of a yeti, was found to belong to a Himalayan mountain goat.
