Well I would contend that showing that life elsewhere is not an unfalsifiable claim will only come by showing evidence of life elsewhere which is the evidence you require regarding GOD. Until then I see no difference.
We have an understanding of what life comprises and the components involved for early biology to thrive, at least in Earthlike conditions. God (who is supposed to be beyond our understanding and comprehension according to many) is made of what exactly? And how could God form?
