While I don't think that RR's "weightier matter" bullshit is in any way meaningful, his comment on certainty and falsifiability, and a misapprehension of both what is being said and what logically follows from what....is spot on.
You can be certain of something that you think is falsifiable. That it hasn't been falsified, or at least that you believe it hasn't... is probably one of the things that grant such certainty in the first place.
Craig, though, is a piece of shit...and he knows it. I don't know why anyone would waste time trying to prove him wrong or find some contradiction. It's not as if he'd care. He's stated this much explicitly. Ironically, this is probably the most honest break in his usual schtick, even if it drives some atheist or debater nuts.That, though, probably explains why he gets under peoples skin, like assholes often do.

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 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!
