theists: what kind of evidence would falsify god?

atheists may answer as well of course (ideally just the clearer thinkers amongst you), but i'm mostly interested in what my fellow believers have to say .. here's what would falsify god to me: if all the founders of all the religions were conclusively found to be scam artists, that would probably do it for me

Update:

then your god idea refers to nothing, if something's compatible with anything and everything then it's a meaningless proposition, in order for an idea to mean anything you have to be able to define it with a black outline

Update 2:

jared: why? i can falsify the statement 'there's a goblin on my shoulder' by turning my head, there didn't have to be a goblin there for me to have been able to falsify that

    For there to be evidence to falsify god...there must also be proof that god exists or ever did exist...so your question is kinda a mute point.

    You can't falsify the statement "there's a goblin on my shoulder", because goblins don't exist. your statement was already false...

    No evidence would falsify God - as the vast amount of evidence rubbishing the Bible's claims, todate, has been rejected by most Christian apologists.

    Theists base their understanding of God on faith, not science or evidence. This is possibly be a big part of the problem here.

    I suppose if I could hear moral relativism/subjectivism argued effectively.

    Of course that would not be "evidence" by it's strictest definition. All forms of moral ideology are argued philosophically, not evidenced through physical examination.

    God is an ultimate explanation and unfalsifiable.
