For the most part, the falsifiable statements made by Judeo-Christian and Muslim prophets are falsified.

The model that religions are nothing more than self-replicating complexes of ideas provides a plausible explanation (if not prediction) for most of their properties without having to invoke or assume the existence of God.

There is a neat little story by Robert Sawyer ("Calculating God") which tries to work on the question "Could God be proven by Science? What kind of Science would be required?", in an honest to goodness science-fiction kind of way. If you are interested in the subject, it is a decent read.
