A fallacy where someone argues that because a claim cannot be proven false, it must therefore be false. This inverts the proper use of falsifiability, which is a criterion for scientific status, not a test for falsehood. The fallacy typically appears in debates about religion, [spirituality], or metaphysics: "You can't prove God doesn't exist, so God must not exist." But the same logic would prove anything unfalsifiable false—a absurd [consequence]. The fallacy confuses burden of proof (claims need evidence) with falsifiability as a truth test. Unfalsifiable claims aren't [automatically] false—they're just not empirically testable. Their truth or falsehood must be evaluated by other standards.
