There are plenty of logical arguments against the existence of bigfoot, but what "evidence" are you talking about?

Just common biological knowledge -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot
"The scientific community overwhelmingly "discount the existence of Bigfoot because physical evidence supporting belief in the survival of a prehistoric, bipedal, ape-like creature of such dimensions is scant or nonexistent."[6] For example, In a 1996 USA Today article titled "Bigfoot Merely Amuses Most Scientists", Washington State zoologist John Crane is quoted as saying: "There is no such thing as Bigfoot. No data other than material that's clearly been fabricated has ever been presented."[60] In addition to the lack of evidence, scientists cite the fact that Bigfoot is alleged to live in regions unusual for a large, nonhuman primate, i.e., temperate latitudes in the northern hemisphere; all recognized nonhuman apes are found in the tropics of Africa and Asia. Thus, as with other proposed megafauna cryptids, climate and food supply issues would make such a creature's survival in reported habitats unlikely."

The same typer of statement can be made concerning lack of evidence for the supposed Jesus.

There isn't a lack of evidence. There is a great deal of evidence. How reliable that evidence is, on the other hand, is highly debatable, with some scholars saying we can know virtually nothing other than that Jesus was a jew with followers in first century palestine who was executed, to others saying that virtually everything in gospels is "gospel truth."

The point remains that we have far more than enough evidence to say with as much surety as possible that Jesus did in fact exist and is in some way the founder of the movement (how far away the Jesus sect moved away from Jesus is again a matter of debate).
