    Statement 1 and 2 are falsifiable while that of statement 3 to 6 are not falsifiable.

    Explanation:

    As the statements are not given, the statements to be classified are as below

    - Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States - Kennedy died from a bullet in his brain - Kennedy's death was the will of God - The murder of John F. Kennedy was an act of evil - If he'd lived, Kennedy would have ended the Vietnam War - Kennedy's murder was orchestrated by an undetectable shadow government of the United States

    First two statements are Falsifiable as the reasons are below

    As for these two statements there are counter facts/cross checking facts from which the truthfulness of the statements can be identified. For the 1st statement, the historic facts can be used and for the 2nd statement, the medical records for the death of Kennedy can be used to test the claim

    However for the statements 3 to 6, the statements are consider not falsifiable as there is no appropriate counter checking to define the truthfulness of these statements.
