No, because Santa DOES exist. I read a book that says so, AND the book says that everything in the book is true, so it must be.

Santa Claus exists. There is alot of evidence to prove this. Haven't you seen the documentary, "Miracle on 34th Street," or read the scriptural account, "A Visit From St. Nick," by the prophet Clement Clarke Moore?

He did exist. The first Europeans to arrive in the New World brought St. Nicholas. Vikings dedicated their cathedral to him in Greenland. On his first voyage, Columbus named a Haitian port for St. Nicholas on December 6, 1492. In Florida, Spaniards named an early settlement St. Nicholas Ferry, now known as Jacksonville.

It is not possible to improve that something does not exist. You can only prove that it is false that it does exist.
Can you prove that it is true that he does exist? Come up with at least once "sourced" fact.

Nicholas of Bari lived in the fourth century. The historical facts are tough to disentangle from the greatly embellished stories of those who idolize him. I guess you could say that he lives on in the hearts and minds of children in at least twenty countries today.

he did. It's historical fact.
I believe in science as being the ultimate prover of self of itself to itself, if matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed, then Santa Claus does indeed, exist.

No such thing as elves?
No house at the north pole?
Nobody that fat could get down a chimney?
Reindeer can't fly?
Can't fit all those presents on a sled?
No child has ever received a present in their stocking that wasn't put there by their parents?
I guess your next question is now- can you prove that God does NOT exist? That's harder. But- we can prove that God does not intervene in the laws of physics and chemistry to enact his will.

Quite easily. Saint Nicholas' death was recorded on 6 December, 343 CE.

As a character performed by human beings, it does exist.
If, on the other hand, you mean Saint Nicholas, he lived in Asia Minor and was Archbishop of Myra in Lycia. More details on:

Noooo...no proof but can you give one sourced fact that YOU exist?
Just because you can't prove something doesn't exist, doesn't mean that it does.
Can you even "prove" that Abraham Lincoln and W.A. Mozart are dead? You can not prove it but the fact remains...they are dead.
You can't prove that flying teacups are not floating around your head at this minute but it doesn't mean that they are.
Your reasoning is faulty.
