Santa claus can be seen, and children work out that it's their parents buying their gifts. God's an invisible spirit, and I guess because we create, and can bring about order, then believing a bigger force from which we came having a mind or consciousness, (a Creator) isn't to far a leap.

God is simply a more difficult concept to dismiss. * The concept of Santa Claus can be dismissed with increase in relevant knowledge and/or with observation. * A Creator God is much more difficult to dismiss. The possibility of an intelligent creator of "the Universe" or of "all nature" is not something we - as a species - have sufficient knowledge to dismiss as impossible or even implausible. Even philosophers debate the issue, without resolution.
