*Just because something is not falsifiable does not make it incorrect.  For instance, if a person says "I had pork chops and applesauce for dinner on July 12, 1987," their statement is not falsifiable because there is no test that can be done to prove the contrary.  However, that does not ''by any means'' mean the statement is necessarily false.  Thus, claiming that the concept of God is not a falsifiable one does not mean the concept is incorrect.

*More importantly, the existence of God is perhaps the ultimate falsifiable claim.  All that one must do is prove that the world as we know it could not possibly be created be an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent being.  Barring this, of course, it is impossible to discount God as the most likely source of everything.
