Your post was pretty puzzling overall, but this is a real stumper. Essentially, your argument is that because not every scientific hypothesis can be proven, therefore a doctrine for which there is by definition NO PROOF is the most probably hypothesis.

And well, that's a bit of a problem. Because you see, a hypothesis--in order to be a hypothesis--must be two things. 1. It must be testable. 2. It must be falsifiable.

The notion that we were created by "a Creator" is therefore not a hypothesis--that is, unless you can give me clear criteria that tell me how you would know if your notion of creationism were wrong. If those criteria don't exist, that means that you've decided that you're not wrong, no matter what. That's not a "hypothesis." That's dogma.
