Is it possible to dream up any observation... ANYTHING that you can make up which, if true, would DISprove god's existance?
It would have to be something where I couldn't come up with an explanation for after the fact which would make it possible that god still exists.

If you cannot falsify something, then you cannot claim under the rules of logic to have evidence consistent with that something. (all observations would carrry zero weight in verifying the assertion)
Karl Popper wrote extensively about how if hypothetical evidence against something cannot exist, then logically neither can evidence FOR that thing exist.

What does this prove?
Nothing.
It proves that neither atheists* nor theists can claim to have evidence to support the existance or non-existance of god.
Anyone who claims otherwise is either very uninformed or lying.

(*the atheistic position is however bolstered by the principle of parsimony, but that's for another time)
