Un-falsified and un-falsifiable take on two distinctly different meanings in this context. Presumably, a supernatural microscope would be able to detect supernatural "matter" - as a natural microscope can detect natural matter. There's no reason to concede or consider the supernatural to be unfalsifiable. That's what believers in the supernatural have been begging us to do since the first man called the first bullshit on the first supernatural liar ( "maybe I cant prove it, but you can't prove me wrong, checkmate!" ). TBT, we don't have any experience with the unfalsifiable, nothing about us equips us to handle that. As a consequence, we aren't exactly experts in coming up with unfalsifiable propositions. Try it, see if you can actually create an unfalsifiable proposition...rather than an unfalsified one.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
