How does one theory being right imply the OTHER theory is falsefiable?

Sounds like you're the brainlet since you can't even refute them

Religioncucks tend to argue straw man that atheists use Occam's Razor to disprove God, when in reality, all they do is refuse to entertain the existence of such a ridiculously complex, utterly needless and laughably ambiguous concept.
Levi Cook
That isnt even an argument, any time someone tries to throw retardation like that at you its time to tap out because they are beyond any hope.
Adrian Sanders
Science purpose is to fit the experimental data, I will choose the simplest theory for doing that just because I want to do less calculations and assumptions

This is why everyone hate mathfags

>Argue Occam's razor instead of proposing a way to find the right theory
John Cox
No it doesnt. It requires that you accept the existence of God as an axiom. In many cases, that is still a simpler explanation.
Dominic Richardson
I meant that if the other theory was a well formed theory and also wrong, then it should be possible to demonstrate through empiricism the wrongness of that second theory. Then instead of saying "my theory is simpler" you could say "the other theory is wrong"
