It's kinda hypocritical to deny science yet live in the modern world shaped and built on the findings of science. Our lifespan has increased significantly since we started working our what was really going on. If we hadn't you'd probably be dead already covered in your own filth and whatever pox you may have succumbed to.
Medicine and technology didn't come about by praying for it, some people instead better spent their time focussing on working out the understanding of the real world.

Because of this, falsifiability is completely irrelevant in religious questions.

Supposedly a god created everything, including physical reality, you'd expect there to be evidence of that. Speculations and assertions don"t create evidence - the source has to be proven to exist and then linked to the observations before being evidence can be claimed, not the other way round.
You can't just make stuff up and then claim observations automatically as evidence - superstitous people have been doing this for yonks, as a pacifier to pretend to know what they don't really know but at least can close off their minds to further angst from not knowing.
You are still confused as what I am trying to convey to you.....you said, quote >>>"Science is testable and falsible, religion is neither.

Karl Popper's statement...again he states, "But religion is not, IS NOT a scientific theory, nor has it ever claimed to be. "God exists" is NOT a HYPOTHESIS about the interaction of a PHYSICAL PHENOMENON, it's a METAPHYSICAL argument. Because of this, falsifiability is completely IRRELEVANT in RELIGIOUS questions."
You said "Science is testable and falsible", religion is neither....this is true...so do you see that Karl's statement that falsifiability is completely IRRELEVANT in RELIGIOUS questions?
Yeah, it's called faith. Many other people however prefer to deal in facts and truths.
