''But religion has some of the answers.'' Just because it's written there it doesn't mean it has 'answers'. It has statements, like god made the universe, it has 0 answers as of how. Just like any other book which can contain literally anything, are those answers too?
'Stephen Hawking's Final Book Says There's 'No Possibility' of God in Our Universe'
Everyone loses a bit of brain power as they get older. If Hawking knew everything, he would have instructed some people in the way to fix his physical/mental problems. In other words, Hawking didn't know enough to make a truthful statement like that... if indeed his book plainly says such. And either he was intentionally lying, was into a non-God religion, or was losing his brain power with age. Those who believe him are like him.
Science has some of the answers. But religion has more, better, and more important ones. Science theory which is believed to be factual, but which could be changed on a moment's notice with new findings, is a religion, just like any other religion. Why? Because of perception. It's perception that makes all the religions to be believed, even the science religions.
