-Oh, just that.
Whole bunch of bullshit and time to get the op title completely wrong. This isn't about falsifying the idea of falsification. You haven't done that. It isn't about philosophy in general or the philosophy of science. You won't be discussing that.
You're just complaining about your beliefs being subjected to any such criterion. Who knows why. If your god's existence represents a true existential claim, some other existential claim or circumstance must be false. At least one, who knows how many in total. You already believe this.
You already believe and would refer to such claims, and this is what falsification is. So..yes, ofc it can be applied to theology. You apply it as well. Consider your attempts to rehabilitate god with biology. The theological assertion is that a tinkergod played with mud in a magic garden. God's claim..in this....simply cannot be true if the relevant facts are false. It's not a scientific issue at all, Popper criticized logical positivism. His idea was that any possible claim about anything might find at least one set of data that at least appears to support the premise of it's truth.
Like your idea that falsification can't be applied to theology, for example. I'm sure you have at least one point of nonsensical data rattling around your empty skull that leads you to believe that this is true. You spam the forums with videos entirely premised on them. Let's apply some falsification to that idea, though. For it to be true..you would have to have gotten any relevant fact in your op right.
You didn't...but ofc, you won't be discussing any of that, now will you.
