We can't reliably detect any type of god nor can think of any way that we could possibly go about this, yet people still say that they just lack belief in the existence of a god but are otherwise open to the possibility. Are you open to the possibility that homeopathy works?

It is falsifiable if you first define what a god is.

If you can't define what a god is then you can dismiss the notion of a its existence as meaningless.
