The concept of falsifiability is very effective in dealing with atheistic and liberal claims that are designed to distract people from the Bible and God.

I'm trying to understand what you mean by falsifiability. Is the existence of normal, everyday objects falsifiable? Take a pencil for example. Even if there were no such thing as pencils on earth, wouldn't it still be impossible to prove whether such a thing exists elsewhere in the universe? --[[User:BenjaminS|Ben]] <sub>[[User Talk:BenjaminS|Talk]]</sub> 22:11, 12 December 2009 (EST)

: I see your point, but I think the confusion is in how the hypothesis is stated.  If there were no known pencils on earth, and yet someone insisted pencils exist somewhere in the universe, then the appropriate answer would be "your claim is not scientific because, among other reasons, it is not falsifiable."y

: The concept of [[falsifiability]] is very effective in dealing with atheistic and liberal claims that are designed to distract people from the Bible and God.  For decades atheists and liberals insisted that there is intelligent life in outer space.  That suggestion pulls people away from the Bible, which of course includes no such possibility.  But the claim should be immediately rejected as non-scientific because it is not falsifiable.  That saves countless hours of distraction and billions of dollars in fruitless projects.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:35, 12 December 2009 (EST)
