Dawkins answered kindly that belief in a designer is more than a mere subjective response: “You appear to be a theist,” he told her. “You appear to believe in some kind of higher power. Now, I think that the hypothesis of theism is the most exciting scientific hypothesis you could possibly hold.” Hold that thought in your mind.

Struggling through his wikipedia entry, it seems that Dawkins indeed does support the notion that as a scientific hypothesis, God is legitimate.  A fair number of physicists would agree. Religious superstructures such as the Biblical miracles, visions, etc. don't count as hypotheses.
 

Does anyone know of any scientific god hypotheses at this time.  Meyer's whole book Return of the God hypothesis failed.  Meyer didn't even try to attempt to make a coherant god of the gaps hypothesis.  He just put up the Top Six as independent gap denial stupidity.
