Disproving Santa clause scientifically:

There are about 2 billion children (Under the age of 18) in the world, However, Santa only visits Christian children; this should leave Santa with about 400 million children to visit on Christmas eve. Assuming each household has 3-4 children, this is about 108 million households that Santa has to visit. Santa has about 24-30 of Christmas hours to work with to distribute all the gifts , this is thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth , so with that said , Santa will be doing roughly 967.7 visits per second , This means Santa has about 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh , hop out , jump down the chimney ( if there is one) , Fill the stockings and , distribute the presents under the trees and eat the cookies that were left for him and then get back up the chimney and leave to the next house . Now lets think about the speed of the sleigh, For the sake of argument, lets assume that each of these 108 million households is evenly distributed, were talking about 0.78 miles per household, that comes to 75.5 million miles that Santa has to travel, and given the time frame he has, this means Santas sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3000 times the speed of sound! Now , onto the weight of the sleigh , Assuming each child gets a normal Lego set ( two pounds each) , the sleigh is carrying 500 THOUSAND TONS , not counting Santa himself , the conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds, so this comes to a massive number of reindeers moving the sleigh , at this weight and speed , the sleigh would burst into flames the instant it starts to move .Merry Christmas :D

Merry Christmas. :D
God bless,

You can't scientifically disprove magic.

When I was little I thought Christians were a little like Angels because they believed in God and doing good gets rewarded, so they would be really nice people who would only try to do good.

I actually believed this for many years in my childhood because I didn't know Christian people. Then one day I was doing my rounds for delivering newspapers and wishing people a merry christmas (it is custom in my country to do that and receive some money for your year work), and the many Christians in my round would tell me to leave even though I didn't even want the money per se :( They were really unfriendly while other people were really nice during that round.

And today, many years later, I have gotten an even worse impression through some Christian bosses. It is almost like Christians are even less nice than people who are not religious. It doesn't make sense to me that someone who would believe in a Heaven and Hell would be even less nice than other people. So I wonder, is there a cult or religion focussed on trying to be nice? I'd like to have some people I can admire.

[QUOTE="xTheExploited"] lol seriously. who tells their kids that santa, a magical man whose only point in life is to give presents to children, only gives gifts to christian kids. xTheExploited

[QUOTE="xTheExploited"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Because it stemmed from Christian families? Though I never heard anyone specifically state only Christian kids get gifts. Really never was addressed. Merely that Santa brings kids gift. You try to hard to bash religion.

LJS9502_basic

Ultra said it in the OP when he was doing his "science", saying that only Christian kids get gifts or something like that.

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="ultrapc"] Because Santa only exists in Christianity , as far as i know anyways . ultrapc

Santa Claus and Christmas have become mostly a secular tradition, and are celebrated all around the world by tens of millions of people of numerious backgrounds, faiths and creeds. For example most of Japan celebrates Christmas despite the fact that less that 1% of the population is Christian.

Really? The figure of Santa Claus reminds me a lot of Odin, what with the bringing of gifts and the hoofs on the rooftops and all that.

Sorry, but that "Christian" tradition copies liberally from many other pre-Christian traditions, and at this point has had the Christianity beat out of it by good old secular consumerism. There's was never any real basis for a Christian holiday on this date to begin with, and certainly not the birth of Christ.

Merry Christmas! :D
