Unfalsified, certainly - but the two aren't exactly the same kettle of fish. Boru offered a claim with sufficient and specific detail for falsification, for example. We could call it unfalsified, but not unfalsifiable. It's falsifiable by rather boring means, as far as thought experiments are concerned. We could go and look, we just haven't.
When you think about it in that context, the claim that god beliefs are somehow unfalsifiable..rather than just unfalsified - at least to the person making the claim, is astounding. Leave it up to a believer to willingly make their own gods less credible than a monument to boru on the planet xenu.
I wasn’t speaking about falsifiability, but demonstrability.
