There are very few unfalsifiable claims in Genesis. There are very few unfalsifiable claims at all, anywhere..about anything. We're no good at imagining things that would be unfalsifiable, we lack experience...lol.
If someone "interprets" the text so that it is no longer claiming what is on the page in response to clear, contrary evidence; it's safe to say what's on the page has been falsified.
Lets take a look at Leks comment, from before. Not -all- of the stories in the bible have been disproven by science, we're told. Makes one wonder which stories Lek feels -have- been disproven, falsified.....but even more amusingly, which stories does Lek feel haven't been disproven, haven't been falsified? Regardless of what belongs in either columm, it doesn't seem as though Lek feels that his religion is unfalsifiable, does it?
Not only is it falsifiable..some of it has been falsified.- and that's coming from a believer.
