INTRODUCTION:
MY IDEA FOR MAKING NATURAL THEOLOGY:
The Absolute Truth, e.g. 2+2=4, can not be false. So, the falsifiability criterion is unscientific.
A nihilist can say: "the Absolute Truth is only in mathematics, not in physics nor elsewhere."
I am replying, that the humankind accumulates the knowledge. The knowledge, if the latter is false, is not the knowledge, but the mistake.
However, humankind accumulates knowledge. For example, the most clever of us know, that
the Sun is a star and is very far away from Earth;
the Earth is not a flat disk standing on turtles;
down to the millimeter, the meter-size triangle is described by Pythagorean theorem;
that the General Relativity validity is being tested many times with success;
the absolute truth in history is what I was born more than 30 years ago and got: the gold medal (for school completion), cum laude (for University completion), and publications in Physical Review E.
In opposition to Popper's falsifiability criterion, we suggest the following: "the theory is real if its validity can be confirmed." While the testing for confirmation, the theory can fail a test. I such a case it is no longer a real theory. For example, the flat earth (once was a real theory) is not real.
By that way of Natural Theology, we can prove even God and spirits.
QUOTES FROM DISCUSSION:
The answer you'd get depends on people:
Yes, if we are followers of Truth,
No, if we are followers of Big Fat Lie.
Indeed, there are quotes "no more broken hearts: tell me lies" and "Love me, love me; pretend, that you love me!" from:
Verifying God? How are you capable of such verification? Are you a higher authority than God?
Conventionalism basically means, that people have created religion and God. No! Uncreated God has given us religion. Because being fundamental means to know where you came from ("I know where I am from" Jesus Christ). I came from God, not from the Biggest Bang on Earth. Fundamentalism was never the sin of fanatism.

AND I KEEP TELLING YOU THAT THE DESIGNER ITSELF IS UNFALSIFIABLE

Again answer with a yes or no , if the premises where true would you accept the conclusion? Yes or no?

Do you have evidence that god exist that I can verify?

Christianity represented Conventionalism, not fundamentalism. There was nothing militant about it.
