Quote:However, if Dr. Craig believes that theism is falsifiable, then Craig must admit that he is not 100% convinced that god exists:
Not precisely the case. Falsifiability doesn't necessary imply doubt as to the truth of the proposition being considered. Craig isn't saying that he's unsure of the existence of God. He's saying that theism could, theoretically be falsified.
A good comparison would be evolution. I am 100% convinced that the diversity of life on Earth is best explained by natural/sexual selection and genetic drift operating on the raw material of mutation. But evolution is falsifiable. If someone could, for example, demonstrate that mutation doesn't happen or that the fossil record is false or that genetic similarities don't prove the existence of daughter species, then I would be forced to admit that the current model of biological evolution is false (or at least has some drastically serious problems).
But based on his past statements, I don't think that Craig really - in what passes for his heart - believes that theism is falsifiable. He's clever enough to grasp that falsifiability is what makes a theory a theory, and he's trying to give his barbarian world-view a veneer of respectability by putting it on a par with science.
