Yes. And as a side note. Everything you presented as an unfalsifiable claim, is falsifiable in one way or another and the subject of each claim given is verifiable. That is in no way similar to any God claim.
Have you heard the 2 empty jar model?
I have 2 seemingly empty mason jars...
I tell you that God is in one (unfalsifiable claim)
I tell you the other is empty.
Both jars have the same properties...
There is no test that can be performed to prove that anything more exists in one jar than the other. The claim has no merit and has no measurable contents whatsoever.
Now the same experiement with slightly different claims...
I tell you one Jar is empty.
I tell you the other Jar has methane gas (falsifiable claim).
You can drop a lit match in both jars, and find out which one of the "seemingly empty jars" is in fact not as "empty" as you thought, and contained something that the second jar did not.
Do you really not understand this?
