If one is going to claim magic like 6 day earth, or talking snakes, or walking on water, or virgin births, or zombie gods, why would a guy zooming around the planet with flying reindeer be any less impossible?
Okay, the god belief is a completely different proposition. It is completely unrealistic, makes no logical sense and has no evidence for it whatsoever.
Belief in Santa is something completely different. And he doesn't actually zoom around the planet with flying reindeer. That's a metaphor for how he can be with us in an instant, in spirit, and the flying reindeer represent his connection to nature.
