What's the big deal about falsifiability?

(Yes, I know what it is, I'm trying to find out if *you* know. And can articulate the significance either way, and what the risks are.)

As far as evidence, you were the one who asserted without evidence "what if Satan had a test so only those who rejected heaven got into it" and expected an answer.

The problem is not that there is no evidence: the problem is a much more subtle metaphysical one dealing with the roots of the scientific method.

I have yet to run across an atheist who's thought of it.

Cheers!
