Is the Loch Ness monster true or false?

Like many myths there is no real evidence than there is any sort of 'monster' living in Loch Ness. But, until it is proved absolutely conclusively that there isn't a monster, some people will continue to believe that there is one. The real reason is that people want a little mystery in their lives, they feel that the world is too small, that almost everything has been discovered, labelled and photographed. The Loch Ness monster, Yeti, Sasquatch, Werewolves and Vampire etc offer an escape from what some people view as the mundane boredom of everyday existence. Such creatures offer a promise that there are still things that haven't been explained by science. Cynical peole would say that the Loch Ness monster was just invented as a story, by local people, to attract tourists, and if that is the case it has worked. Most of those who believe in 'Nessie' think that the Loch Ness monster is some sort of marine dinosaur. The Dinosaurs became extinct tens of millions of years ago but only 11 thousand years ago, during the last Ice Age, Loch Ness was buried under a kilometre or more of ice. That was only the most recent of many Ice Ages which have occurred since the extinction of the dinosaurs. So the Loch Ness monster could only have moved to Loch Ness in the last 10 thousand years or so. Where did it come from? Scientists would say that no dinosaur could live for millions of years by itself. Nessie must therefore be a member of an undiscovered species, so where are the rest of them? Why has no one ever been able to prove that they even exist?
