1. I'd really like a straight-up answer to my question, though. If the blank isn't filled in, the claim is unfalsifiable. Right?
2. Regarding your filling in the blank:
(A) If we say that the only designer possible would be God, then you'd be saying, "If we knew the designer (the designer must = God, so I just sapped out "God" in your sentence and put in "the designer") didn't exist, then that would be evidence that there was no designer." That says nothing (except A=A), it's just a tautology.
No, I am saying that in order to prove God does not exist you would have to prove that he is not involved in a different universe in any way, because in this one, he is so intimately involved, at least, as far as I can tell.
Again, if you could show me beyond a doubt that another universe exists that God had no involvement in then I would despair thinking how much of my current life in this world was spent dancing, laughing, and crying with someone who did not exist. IOW, its incomprehensible to me that what I perceive has not been with me from the very beginning before time itself. Although, there are times when the world presses down on me, and my soul is weighed down by my circumstances, as if a black hole swirls overhead, —it is at those times I remember what he has said to me, and I hold on to his words with dear life while the ocean rages around me. Eventually, the storm passes and I find myself on a beach in paradise, iow, Where God needed me to be. Is that me justifying the means by the end? Maybe, but looking back (and forward) I wouldn’t do it any other way.
(B) If we say that some intelligent designer besides god might be possible, then your statement is not true. If we knew God did not exist, then we wouldn't know one way or the other if there was some other designer, because some other designer would still be logically possible.
That was a bit confusing, because for me there is only one God, designer, and creator. I am not sure what your point is.
Either way, your suggestion doesn't go very far at all. What is really needed is some observation about organisms and life that is necessary given some characteristic or aspect of the designer. So, if the designer is like X, we would necessarily have to not see organisms like Y or with characteristic Y. That means that if we observed Y, we'd know it can't be designer X. That would falsify the claim that designer X designed life. Without something like that, the claim is unfalsifiable.
I am trying to follow you.
1) The designer is absolute good (x).
2) We see people committed to evil (ie., “y”) therefore they were not designed by the designer (x).
3) But we also see people committed to x, therefore they were designed by the designer x.
Conclusion, an imperfect being corrupted the nature given him by the designer and formed y in opposition to the designer (1), whereas, the perfect designer secretly formed x (2) despite the imperfect being, because the designer has his Wisdom (“Jesus, Joshua, Yeshua”) and eternity on his side.
