People have asserted that the existence of gods is unfalsifiable. No one can say that they know that this is true, and, in each and every case so far, it has been demonstrably false.
Even as an empty assertion, it can only be floated about some nondescript god that no one believes in. The abrahamic god, the various pantheons of the pile of dead religions..all of them, falsified. The nondescript "created it all and set back to watch" god is falsifiable..even if we insist it hasn't been falsified.
Human beings aren't very good at creating unfalsifiable statements or concepts. It's just not how we think about things. Go ahead, try it. Try to say something that can't be falsified.
