So, Stephen Hawking has dismissed the idea of heaven, saying that it "is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark." Before he has kind've tip-toed around the idea of God, saying that if God existed, he existed outside of our universe and couldn't actually affect anything within our universe.
He has also recently said that no divine force was needed for the creation of our universe, rather tiny quantum fluctuations in a very tiny universe sowed the seeds for the universe we have today.
So. Science or Religion?
I don't believe in an afterlife. I don't think that a book written thousands of years ago, not even by the apostles, should dictate my life nor should it tell me what to expect after I die.
I also find it very difficult to believe that the big bang didn't happen and that someone created everything, including fossils just for the lulz. And despite not truely understanding the quantum physics involved in the big bang, I believe the lay version alot more than the creationist version.

so I havn't read every single post because theres a tone of them, so I'm just gonna sum it up the way I see it.
I belive that god does exist, however there are many elements of christianity that I don't agree with (like one life time of sin being deserving of infinate torture)
science and religion should not have to conflict, where it does either the science is faulty or the religion is wrong in that area, and since science is based on observation and religion is based on faith, science will be right in most cases.
stephen hawking didn't say god couldn't effect our universe, he just said that he doesn't seem to effect our universe.
I belive everything science has proven or is strong evidance to sugest it, I just belive that god is behind it all and science is discovering his methods.
