Stephen Hawking makes clear anti-religious statements.

It is often claimed that Science and religion are in conflict, but as Stephen Hawking recently demonstrated recently most of the conflict results from the anti-religion position of atheists like himself. It is the insistence of such people on assuming that God and the supernatural do not exist that cusses the conflict. This is because if you start with the assumption that something does not exist you will produce theories constant with that assumption.

Upon being asked if religion and science could be reconciled Hawking said. "There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, and science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works." However this not an accurate statement since it is not totally accurate ether science or religion.

For example while Christians see the Bible authoritative, reading and understanding it is up to the individual Christian not just ministers. Nor are Christians required to take a pastor’s preaching at face value but are encouraged to compare it to the Bible. Further more much of the Bible is a result of the observation of events often witnessed by the human authors. The bases of the resurrection of Jesus is not some vision but on the reports of men and women who saw the risen Jesus themselves. Even today we can go to Jerusalem in Israel and observe the empty tomb for ourselves.

On the other hand while science is ideally based on observation and reason. This is not always the case. Stephen Hawking is actually a good example of this because he personally does little if any actual observation, but most of his work is the result of theorizing within his own mind. Furthermore, little if any of his work has produced testable predictions that have ever been successfully tested by observation. Despite this he himself is seen as an authority in science with some people taking his every word as truth with as much unquestioning faith as is seen in the most gullible regions person you could know.

The point is that in his ABC news interview he showed clear contempt for religion, and there by showed the real source of conflict between science and religion. That is atheistic control of establishment institutions.

The Expulsion from Eden

Genesis 3:22-24
22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Commentary

The fruit of this tree apparently had such healing propertied that it could actually help the body and repair genetic damage of a life time that eventually leads to death.

Ambrosia, the food of the gods in Greek mythology seems to be a result of combining the fruit of the Tree of Life and that of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Since Ambrosia is alleged to convey eternal life and god hood to the eater. The Tree of Life is the eternal life part and the Satan possessed serpent told Eve the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil would make her as a god.  

The Origin of Clothing

Genesis 3:20-21
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

Commentary

This is likely the first place where a death actually occurred because the skins here probably came from one or more animals.

The need to labor

Genesis 3:19
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Commentary
This verse includes the need to labor for food and the fact that after death the body will eventually decay to dust and dirt.

Thorns and thistles

Genesis 3:17-18
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

Commentary
This shows that the harmful and defensive features of living things like thorns were added after Man's fall. Thus they were not part of the original creation but add ons resulting from the curse caused by man's fall.  

Pain of child birth

Genesis 3:16
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

Commentary

Here, is reference and origin of the pain of child birth.

The First Prophesy Crucifixion of Christ

Genesis 3:15
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Commentary

This is a prophesy that was fulfilled by Jesus Christ’s Death on the Cross. The serpent her was under the influence of Satan and when Christ’s heel way wounded in crucifixion, He dealt Satan a fatal blow.
