Apologetics and Evidence

I grew up believing in Santa Claus. I have some experiences with my dad that I now look back on with bewilderment. One time when I was very young, my dad was going outside and I asked him where he was going. He told me that he was going to throw corn on the roof of the house in order to feed the reindeer (I assumed that it was so they could eat while Santa was busy stuffing his fat butt through the chimney).

Knowing this from the map in my head, I figured I would use the sun to get there. If I found a main highway I would keep the sun in the left of my scope of vision (because it was close to noon), and I would be driving
