You've missed my point.

Not really, we simply have different priorities. Mechanisms are nice to debate but the origin is the brass ring which is why I asked you if God is falsifiable. You seem reticent to answer. No problem.

God is absolutely not falsifiable by the very nature of God. Any observation could be explained as being due to God's will. You look at this as a good thing, but it is actually a weakness of an idea if it is unfalsifiable. Which is more convincing, an idea that can never be falsified, no matter what actual observations are seen or an idea that could be falsified, but never actually has been? This is why any idea that invokes God is not science. It is precisely because God is unfalsifiable and ideas in science are.
