However, if Dr. Craig believes that theism is falsifiable, then Craig must admit that he is not 100% convinced that god exists:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_o...robability
- Strong theist. 100 per cent probability of God. In the words of C.G. Jung: "I do not believe, I know."
- De facto theist. Very high probability but short of 100 per cent. "I don't know for certain, but I strongly believe in God and live my life on the assumption that he is there."
- Leaning towards theism. Higher than 50 per cent but not very high. "I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God."
- Completely impartial. Exactly 50 per cent. "God's existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable."
- Leaning towards atheism. Lower than 50 per cent but not very low. "I do not know whether God exists but I'm inclined to be skeptical."
- De facto atheist. Very low probability, but short of zero. "I don't know for certain but I think God is very improbable, and I live my life on the assumption that he is not there."
- Strong atheist. "I know there is no God, with the same conviction as Jung knows there is one."
Because, to admit that something is falsifiable means to admit that one is not 100% certain of it being true. If Craig is 100% certain the god exists, then that would mean that he is 100% certain that no evidence exists to the contrary, which means that Craig's belief in god is not falsifiable.

I'm an atheist; and besides, there are only so many hours in a day. I would rather post here than there. Humor me -- can one believe in god with 100% certainty and yet still hold the existence of god to be a falsifiable proposition?
