I have more faith in quotes that I can read in their full context. (Not an athiest, by the way; I just don't believe that anyone can prove God exists through science.)

Listen, Matt... There are plenty of people on both sides of the God issue. Some are smart and some are not. No matter how the cake is sliced, the question isn't one that will be decided by votes and neither will it be decided by taking count of the sides. The question can only be decided by making logical inquiries and drawing reasonable conclusions from the results obtained - by seeking the truth of what we each know is fundamentally real.
I may not be more knowledgeable about the specifics of each of the subjects these scientists posses expertise in, in fact, I probably can't hold a candle to what each of them might or does understand better than me, but when it comes right down to the bottom line of the question: "Is intelligent design a reasonable theory?" I have to remain on the side that says. "NO, it is absolutely not even close to being reasonable."
Logical minds see patterns and reason wherever they can be found... Give the chaos of a sandy beach to a thinking person and he will find reasons and patterns among the dunes. This is not evidence of "intelligent design" but rather it is evidence of intelligent observation.... There is no God, Matt, not even a tiny one for this list of notable scientists who appear to be wishing and praying that one might yet be found among the wreckage of their mystic beliefs.
Get over it... it's time to look ahead.

After reading those quotes I would have to think yes, I do understand science better than these people. I notice that there is no context given for any of the quotes and some of the authors quoted have written rather long books that are totally at odds with the quote given. I have read some of these books. Hawking being quite a favourite of mine.

Atheists like to use science as a way of somehow proving there is no design, higher power, God etc. ... but the little secret that atheists would rather everyone not know is that true people of science actually believe in some kind of higher power. Thus proving that atheists are usually people with a pseudo education (have a library card), between the ages 16 and 27 (emotionally and spiritually immature), and have a beef with their religious parents.

Probably....the people at godandscience.org are biased and have been shown to twist truths, mislead and outright lie. Their 'brand' of science is skewed at best, purposely false at worst and not generally accepted. You would do well to get an unbiased education and make up your own mind about God and science...not swallowing garbage that is handed to you from a pulpit.
BTW I'm not an atheist, but I can't stand lying fundaMENTAList christians like the group you mentioned above.

Stephen Hawking is an Agnostic.
What I have done is to show that it is possible for the way the universe began to be determined by the laws of science. In that case, it would not be necessary to appeal to God to decide how the universe began. This doesn't prove that there is no God, only that God is not necessary. [Stephen W. Hawking, Der Spiegel, 1989]

It is the object of websites like the one you mentioned to quote short parts of other people's statements out of context.
This is to mislead you into thinking these people really believe in god. If you really want to know what people believe, you have to read their books from cover to cover.
Relying on a few misquotes from your biased website is not the way to go.

Maybe. Maybe not. But I am sure that I know and know of people who know more about science than those people.
If you would just pay attention and ask your question right the first time we wouldn't have to point it out to you. No wonder the bible has so many mistakes in it, jeez.

Do you actually put this up because you claim that atheists call themselves smart?
I could claim that I'm more logical than they are
Note: Stephen Hawking is agnostic, does not believe in a personal God
(That's bad grammar, son. It should be "Why aren't mugfuhguhs eating spaghettiohs)

Perhaps not, but I do know more about grammar than you.
For example, in your question above, the use of the verb "are" is incorrect. It would be much better to use the auxiliary verb "do."
Bear in mind that language is the material with which we reason. If you are sloppy with your language, your reasoning will also suffer.
