Did Dawkins and Tyson say that and what are the implications.

[pocaracas]

The deist god is a potentially valid hypothesis to explain the origin of the Universe.... and little else.
The christian god (or any other religion's) has just a wee bit too much extra... hmmm what's the word?... crap attached that make it much, much, much less likely.

Your first statement to me is all I ask of fair minded people and seems to me a totally valid and fair point . Your second statement I can accept is what you believe and even if much less likely must in light of your first statement be also a hypothesis.

aye, but if the deist hypothesis already warrants a very small likelihood, the other one will have an even smaller likelihood of success.
Of course, this likelihood I have put here is just some intuitive probability... mostly based on the answer to "how am I going to test this hypothesis?".... "I can't see any way!".
