And the book says:

Stephen Hawking's Universe Wrote:"The odds against a universe like ours emerging out of something like the Big Bang are enormous." he told me. "I think there are clearly religious implications whenever you start to discuss the origin of the universe. There must be religious overtones. But I think most scientists prefer to shy away from the religious side of it."

quod erat demonstrandum

PS. Even if this quote meant what you wanted it to mean, this is a blatant Appeal to Authority. I wonder why is that when I google your quote I get a ton of creationist websites...

could you enumerate, what exactly you understand differently about Hawkings understanding and position, quoting the full text ?

And secondly, its not wrong to cite authorities, when they are specialists in their fiels. What Hawking undoubtly is.
