Go on, debate about whether or not Santa exists. Evidence is clearly in favor of existence.

People can claim all they want about him being a fake because he can't visit 7 Billion kids in one night.
But, there are only about 564 Million kids celebrating Christmas. Don't forget different time zones.
Personally, I don't beleive in him, but that theory is just something that came up.

Nonsense, he exists. Who else can deliver presents to 564 people in one night? I know some people say it's the parents, but there is no way then can organize something of that scale! Obviously Santa can just freeze time.

Who else can deliver presents to 564 people in one night? It's really hard for me to discern sarcasm that isn't my own, but, taking your question at face value, I shall remind readers that all sorts of organizations, profit and non-profit, can deliver presents to a measly 564 children. Delivering gifts to 564 million children is a different matter altogether. Just for the sake of nonsensical argument, let us assume that there are an infinite number of "universes." Let us assume further that there are an infinite number of "universes" in which the laws of physics as we know them do not apply to these "universes." Given this, there must be an infinite number of "universes" in which there really is a Santa Claus as we know him. Alright, you might concede, but maybe we're in one of those "universes" in which there isn't a Santa Claus as we know him. Well, further consider that with an infinite number of "universes" in which there is a Santa Claus, there are also an infinite number of "universes" in which their Santa Clauses travel between "universes" to deliver gifts. Knowing this, there must be an infinite number of Santa Clauses that travel to our universe. Having determined that we get presents from Santa Claus, we may now conclude this nonsensical argument. Thank you, and Happy Religion Awareness Week... |

I think that I heard he was a combination of 2 or 3 people, I think one of them was a beggar, and the other was a Saint, but I don't know if this is true. I think that he probably is based off of them, I cannot remember the reasons why, though.

"Santa" was a french saint that drops gifts on doorsteps.

I do know that in Hispanic nations, instead of Santa coming before Christmas Day, they have the three wisemen leaving simple gifts in doorways before Three Kings' Day, which I think is January 6 or so...

Its easy; Santa only covers the children that believe they get their presents from Santa, and Santa can use his magic to be in multiple places at once. Duh.

I'd suggest you guys to start believing in the Magical Invisible Pink Ponycorn. He does everything Santa does, and he can also play the bassoon.
REPENT, O THOU OF LITTLE FAITH!

lolbassons.
You guys are forgetting the time zones. THE TIME ZONES. Be cause of this, he should only visit 23.5 Million kids per hour. Or 195.833 Houses per minute. Wait, almost 3 houses per second? Maybe he has a gun that shoots presents. Lol.

 Santa only gives the big stuff to the 1%, so 99% of his loot consists of small trinkets for the rest. |

Pretty much, yeah. As one song states, Santa hates poor people. And Jews.

Well, Santa certainly had less people to visit during the World Wars, I can say that much with certainty. Whether he could fly in American and Soviet airspace without being shot down during the Cold War, I know not...

It's blatantly obvious that the sleigh myth is just designed to cover the real, controvertial truth.
Santa has actually worked out the secrets of quantum matter transportation. Quantum reality says that particles can be in an infinitum of places at once, and so Santa has devised a way of isolating it so that the presents actually only appear in one position for just a nanosecond. That's how he can transport so many presents around the world semi-instantaneously. That also explains how he can be seen in so many places at once. He changes his location in a loop many times per second, so fast that the human eye cannot see that he is flickering in and out of existance at any one point.
Simple.

Occupy North Pole! We are the 99% of people that celebrate Christmas that get clothes and such as gifts!

Santa was based of the Beneluxian ''Sinterklaas''(Which means Saint Clause when translated into English) and the habit was brought to America by Dutch colonists. ''Sinterklaas'' did really exist, 500 years ago and was born rich and gave a lot of his wealth to poor people in Turkey(That's where he lived) and was then was declared a saint. So, he did sort of exist. We still celebrate Sinterklaas here BTW.
