according to tradition santa clause is a man who lives at the North Pole on Planet Earth. Explorers and satellite images have failed to detect the dwelling place of santa clause, so we be fairly certain that he does not exist. since the polar ice cap is likely to melt within the next 100 years, we will have further evidence that nobody actually lives at the North Pole.

to the second comment who added the *edit in there, the bible says there are 3 heavens. the first one is where the birds and eagles for example fly. the second heaven is outer space, the 'third heaven' is heaven, the kingdom of heaven. i have verses if you want to check this out for yourself send me a message and i'll send them to ya.

Yes but unlike Santa, God is placed outside the universe. Show me the satellite that exists outside of time and space.

I don't think the question is whether or not God exists; it's whether or not the CHRISTIAN God exists. I have no problem with the idea that there was some force up there that started everything -- some person, some thing, whatever. But look at all the stuff in the Bible. A guy that multiplies food, a guy that walks on water, a guy that lives to be nine hundred years old, a guy that rises from the dead... prove to me that THAT stuff happened.

It is clear that wherever god is he is not in our physical body, and nowhere in our physical surroundings.
But isn’t that where he was supposed to be when this all started? Wasn’t he supposed to be personally involved in the weather and seasons, natural disasters, the outcome of wars, failure and success of crops? Isn’t this why we were supposed to need him in the first place?
So how come we now discover and theists agree, that god has nothing to do with any of these things?
I have no doubt that no matter where they say god is, man will eventually get there and find nothing. But of course scientists aren’t really looking for god. It just so happens that as man extends his knowledge and masters his environment, superstition and all false concepts inevitably get trampled underfoot.
If god exists then we will find him sooner or later, but so far it doesn’t look good for the believers.
Until then it seems we have dominion over not only the earth, but just about anything in the universe we can lay our hands on.
Until god shows up, the universe is our responsibility.

Sure.
"according to tradition god is a man who lives in the sky of planet earth. Explorers and satellite images have failed to detect the dwelling place of god, so we be fairly certain that he does not exist"
Edit: ... please show me in the bible where it says god lives in a different universe. And not any of this crap where and says he lives in heaven and *you've* decided that heaven is in a different universe. That's just the game that christians like to play where you prove the bible wrong, and so it gets "reinterpreted" so that it was right all along! Boy, that must be awfully convenient.
Re-edit: *sigh* That's it, I'm done. I just said I wasn't going to play that game, and ya did. You sent me scripture that says heaven a bunch of times, and baseless claim that it was a different heaven all three times. No reason to think it's different except that it doesn't agree with your assertion if they're not. THIS is the reason you can't disprove god. Every time someone does, the interpretation of the bible changes. You can't disprove imaginary things because the person imagining it just changes the rules whenever you do.

God doesn't live in the sky. he lives out of the universe. Of course no one lives in the North Pole. why would they? santa clause is make believe. No one believes in him anymore except the little little kids. and the satellites don't go out of the universe, so they can't prove that God doesn't exist.

It is impossible to prove something does not exist, even Santa. All our Santa documents could have his home base location wrong, or maybe he had to move because of the publicity. Perhaps the people writing said documents got it wrong. He could be anywhere. So your proof is invalid.
The burden lies on the proposer of the positive, i.e. the person that says that something does exist. There is no logical way to prove non-existence.

I know of no possible way to prove there is no God. Nor do I know of any possible way to prove there IS a God.
Therefore, I am agnostic.
As for Santa - Santa is magic, remember? He uses magic to hide himself, which is why satellites don't pick him up, and Explorers have walked right past him!
It's the magic that renders it impossible to disprove Santa. There's a lesson there.

Charles Darwin stated God does not exist jointly as believing in the spontaneous era concept. If Charlie only would have regarded at an common cellular with the aid of a extreme powered microscope and spot purely how complicated it is he on no account would have stated that.

Negative evidence is not evidence. Santa could still turn up.
BTW, the polar ice cap is not going to melt within the next 100 years.

Tradition claims that... stories for children... but you do realize there really was a Saint Nick (notice the Saint part of his name).
As for God living in another universe????? The bible doesn't state that either... it says he resides in his kingdom. Now which one that is, is hard to tell... because in a few spots it tells you that the kingdom is everywhere, yet unseen.... then in the new testament it tells us that it's within.
