no. to claim God exist through the frame work of scripture (as this is the only way we know God exists) is called Theology. falsification is not applicable. As science is the measure of rule of the observable world. if one can not experiment and observe repeatable results the subject matter is not observable/unknowable to science. Therefore it fall to another intellectual discipline to proof a concept. in this case proof God through the discipline of theology. Again that what a call to falsification is. to see if a subject is of a scientific nature or not.
Claims of God can not be falsified, therefore it is not up to science to proof God/Science is out of it's scope, science does not have the tools to proof God if God does not fit the scientific method.
So again to ask for falsification is to disqualify science as a tool to discuss matters of God or theology.
