What makes people think God didn't create the world in a way we could understand? Did I miss that part?

Not at all. Einstein wanted the same. It appears however that there is no God. I hope Im wrong. If I am, I cant see how he would hold it against me.

It's wrong scientifically to search for a truth which you already have preconceived beliefs about.
It's right to want to know how the universe came to be. That's a scientific goal. To try to understand specifically how the God that you believe in created a universe implies a God which through an act of will made manifest a universe.
Right now, all evidence shows that this universe could have come to be without some divine creative force. If you try to fit God into this, you cease to seek truth because you assume that there is no need for it.
Mathematics, in this case, is the higher power. Mathematics is constantly showing how matter can come to exist in the universe, without God. It's actually amazingly simple... a positive and a negative particle spring into existence. The sum of the energies of the particles is zero, and therefor the law of conservation of energy is not violated. It doesn't take God to create matter... it simply springs into existence.
Man's mind can effect changes in the universe. By expirement, and simply by looking at light, we can change it from a particle to a wave.
We've shown that a single piece of matter can be at two distinctly different places at the same time. No magic; just physics. It's even to the point that a visible specimen can be seen with the naked eye, existing in two separate locations at once.
The wonder of our universe is beyond the comprehension of any one person, but still, no God has been necessary to open it up.
Does that mean I don't believe in some deity? Absolutely not. I've got a strong faith, but I dont' use it to answer scientific questions. I don't have to fight to fit deity into physics. The increase of knowledge about our universe doesn't threaten my faith.
Trying to fit God into a mathematical hole as it were will never result in greater learning and understanding. Seek truth, but don't try to bend it to your own perceptions.

Nothing, as long as you use true scientific methods; that you do not "rule out" the possibility/probability of the "supernatural" or "God-factor"; and that you do not accept scientific "theories" and suppositions to explain what the true scientific methods have not explained.
The TRUE scientific methods are ways by which you can study the marvels of the Universe which God created!!
The Moody Bible Institute, in the days of 16mm film, had a series of "Sermons from Science" which were quite good ... showing the marvels that science reveals; and what it reveals about God. The films likely are still very good but the quality of the photography may be rather dated, technologically, now.

There is nothing wrong with trying to understand HOW the universe came about.
Setting up a pre-requisite that it was created by a specific someone (or something) without evidence is sloppy. It will taint your results, and therefore it is NOT scientific.
First show evidence for god. Then you can try and prove such a being was responsible for the universe's creation.

God did not created the universe. The universe itself is GOD. But God created stars, planets and all the other stuff. HE created, creates and will be creating everything ever.

I think thats a very good thing to want to understand. One main argument for atheism seems to be that there are scientific explinations for all of God's "miracles". If one could scientifically explain God's work, it would show once and for all that the two concepts can go hand in hand.

Not at all. We must understand that the physical universe is an aspect of the divine meant for us to experience, explore and understand. This is the creation that stemmed from the consciousness that is God. Much like I can conceive of a character in my head then mold clay to represent that character, God is a high vibration of consciosness/energy that slowed itself down to manifest materially.

It is absolutely the right thing to do. You can choose to believe that God did it, or that god was not directly involved, but the mechanics are fascinating and the methods of analyzing the data to learn what happened are even more so.

No, but as of now do we now how He created? just Leave that questions to NASA & wait for the day that we will actually know the truth nothing but the truth so help us God.

Understand the universe and from that determine who created it.
