Stringsinger, you said:

Dave O, Jefferson's bible has been made available in print.

"Has been made available in print" is not what the original statement was; it was that Jefferson published it, which is another matter.

Any hypothesis is testable. That's what science does.

Not so. In order to test a hypothesis, there must be measurable, repeatable, observable (by some natural means) phenomena. There is no way to test such hypotheses as "God created the heaven and the earth" or "God is omnipresent" or the like. And the "truth" or "falsity" of such statements makes no quantifiable or observable difference, either way; thus they are not "Real Questions".
