Can you prove that Santa doesn't exist?

We all know that Santa doesnt exist but is there a way to proof that he doesnt exist?
I personally don't think it is possible to prove/disprove something that doesnt exist.


Debate >

 

The north pole is nothing but ice. I don't see any elves or Mrs. Claus there.

 

There isn't a way that you can prove that. I don't really think there's any way to prove that something exists or does not exist.

 

You could put some like heat detecting scan over the whole of the north pole region and see if there is a fat man there. Otherwise nuke it and make sure he doesnt exist =]

 

thats just not possible. gl trying it

 

Wait... He DOESN'T exist? What?!!!! WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






Well, it's just one of those things you don't NEED to prove.

 

Maby hes hiding in the US!!!

 

are u santa?

 

I can prove it by having my parents tell me it's them.

 

Thats no proof.

 

A saint nick did exist, but to bad he's dead now.

 

no footprints on roof on christmas day when i check, hence no santa, also no chimney =] and yet there was presents under the tree...maybe santa can lock pick :s

 

For sake of example, I'll use quote by Dawkins

"I am agnostic only to the extent that I am agnostic abuot fairies at the bottom of the garden"

 

i dun get it

 

Plain and simple. You can't prove a negative.

 

Santa is a figment of our imagination that some bored guy made up to tell little kids. We can search the whole north pole for him and won't find him.

 

You cant prove it lol.

 

This isn't mine but a friend sent me this around Christmas time. Kinda funny.
1. No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and bacteria, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.
2. There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu Jewish, and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Central Demography. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children pre household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each.
3. Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This all works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about ...78 miles per household, a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc.
4. This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For the purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.
5. The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,000 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal ammount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison - this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.
6. 353,000 tons travelling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.

 

lol that pretty much sums it up.. nice

 

go to to the north pole and go look for 2 fat asses there with raindeer
