Disproval was totally unneeded to dismiss your god before you dreamt up the qualifier, it is just as totally unneeded afterwards.
Without your qualifier, Your god can be trivially dismissed as something that could not possibly be more bullshitty. it can still be dismissed with the exact same level of certainty as being of exactly that same sublime level of bullshittiness with the additions of your qualifier.
Read what I wrote more carefully, dear bullshitter. A universe requires a cause, it can't just pop out of nothing. That's why the concept of God is necessary, it's because we care about rationality -unlike you, you think I am arbitrarily adding qualifiers to God to make it escape falsification. Well, no, you got it backwards: our position is that a deity is a necessary condition to existence, it's not an optional add-on. No god means no existence. No entity with sufficient qualifiers means no Anomalocaris.

Because you have no way of demonstrating that it’s true.

You can say that, but you’d be wrong, lol.
I see you're cherry picking what you answer to. I said that something like there being infinitely many prime numbers isn't subjected to falsification by experiments, we reach its truth by logical arguments, and it is evidently true. This means that there is category of concepts and true propositions to which we can't apply the criterion of falsifiability. And there, your entire objection goes out of the window.

Nonsense, theology is a personal explanation of things. It goes hand to hand with scientific explanations.
