I’m currently starting a serie about evolution on my french blog. I am reading Answers in Genesis to improve my arguments. Did you hear about it ? It may be helpful.

Children are led to believe Santa is real and he comes down the chimney and visits the homes of all the good little boys and girls all over the world.

Relating the story of Santa as a fictional character to children would not be as offensive to me as allowing them to believe that a SANTA and 8 reindeer actually exist.

Of course our precious children are being told that Global warming is a truism and it is being reinforced in literature, curriculum, nightly news reports and media. So too is the supposition that somehow these precious young souls evolved from some apelike creature is being told to them as a truism as well.

I guess one good story deserves another?

A question for you, Eagleswings. Why didn’t the Intelligent Designer give us eyes as good as an Eagle’s?

And, just for the record, who do you believe is the Intelligent Designer?

Here is my reply:

Eagle vision being able to see great distances is actually possible with Godly vision. Prophets of old were able to see great distances into the future to forthtell of the coming of a messiah as well as other events that would happen in the future. There are those with Eagle vision today who have been given the gift of prophesy to foresee future events. So therefore I believe God has provided Eagle vision to some.

#2 The intelligent designer is God of course.

And, just for the record, who do you believe is the Intelligent Designer?

To a child, Santa is not fictional. Children are led to believe Santa is real and he comes down the chimney and visits the homes of all the good little boys and girls all over the world. This is even reinforced on the evening TV news on Christmas Eve. As children mature and figure out on their own, or with the assistance of their peers, that Santa is really Mommy and Daddy they also realize how preposterous it is that they ever believed the Santa myth in the first place. They have been deceived and what seemed true wasn’t afterall. The real explanations are so much more rational and objective. Same thing with the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. Similarly, many things in nature look designed. Only our rationality and objectivity permit us to figure out that looks can be deceiving and beter explanations can be discovered. It’s insane to not look and settle for the story we’ve been told.

Actually to be accurate I end all my posts with the same quotation. This to me and beings this is MY BLOG is my motto and creed for life. I have found the statement to be true throughout the course of my life. Waiting on the Lord surely does energize me to rise above life’s most challenging circumstances. So to you the bible is worthless to me it is of great worth.

I have found however that most “secular education” otherwise known as knowledge is worthless.

Actually no my logic would not conclude that presents under the tree could only have been left by Santa for several reasons but let us start with the first. Santa is FICTIONAL so therefore it would be insane to think Santa left presents under the tree.

However logic would conclude that presents were left under the tree by some person. They surely did not get there under their own power. They would have had to been placed there by someone. And logically the tree had to have been placed and decorated by someone as well for not even evolution teaches that a tree will cut itself down and set itself up in a home made from cut materials and then proceed to decorate itself with lights and bulbs and then place under itself presents.

So yes logic would dictate some sort of INTELLIGENT DESIGN to the whole Christmas tree experience. Of course I guess unintelligent design could have done it as well, after all you do not have to be too smart to set up a Christmas tree.
