Obviously it is only the child which has the correct epistemology to understand and know Santa. For the adult, its as if someone were to try and teach a high school drop out that the moon is made of rock and not actually cheese.

on the contrary, the joke just became more poignant

I am referring to evolution... not children changing into Santa.

Wow, the arrogance is just spewing out of you, LG. Please, try and bring your pride down a little, because it's contaminating the forum.
