Well then the question of whether the known universe is unique or one of many must not be ready yet for science, since there is as little evidence for its exclusiveness as for its having company. From the existence of one, we can not conclude only one any more than we can more than one.
That’s not quite right. The “hypothesis” (using the term loosely) is “if God did not exist the universe would not be rational.” How is that hypothesis falsifiable?
Science also runs into these types of problems. Empirical measurements themselves are based on hypotheses and theories. For example, the transit method used to detect extrasolar planets is a theory based method. The equipment and data collection is also based on theories. If someone said that science is theories all the way down I might agree with them.
The way to falsify that hypothesis, “If God does exist, the universe would be rational…” Since the universe is rational then the statement that God does not exist is false.
How do you falsify the claim that the only way the universe could be rational is if God exists?

You would have to show that there could be a way that rationality could come from nothing. If our rational universe was created by nothing from nothing, then there would be no need for God…
So how would you test for that?
