That's a can of worms you're opening there.
Craig's view of God, at least as he uses it in debates with atheists, is purely metaphysical. Metaphysical views are extremely hard to subject to truth examination, pretty much by definition-- if it was explainable with observation, it wouldn't metaphysics, it would just be new physical discovery.
So to say that his position is "intrinsically no true" is overstepping the truth of it, I think. Few atheists claim that no God could exist; more say that specific definitions of God can't be true, and the evidence doesn't support others."
