It's not even a hypothesis if it can't be tested in principle. For God to be part of a scientific theory, it would have to be possible to prove that God is NOT the correct explanation. Probability doesn't enter into it at all.

You are using the word Theory in a very tight band in order to exclude GOD. out of curiousity what is the difference between a theory and a fact?

I'm using it in its scientific sense because YOU'RE using it in it's scientific sense. Colloquially, a theory is about the same as speculation. That you think I'm using the term in its scientific sense just to exclude God does not reflect well on you. Scientific theories are made of facts, and explain them.
