Well everybody on VGChartz knows I am a Christian. Now I stayed out of this thread long enough but won't really get involved since I know I'll be a target.

Too late .

More seriously, target is the wrong word I think as while there have been some people who said that believing was stupid, the bulk of the thread consist of my various discussions and while I do not shy away from criticising other's view point (and do not feel offended by other's criticism of mine or by their belief that I deserve to be tortured after death) I do try to explain why I find things to criticise rather than simply saying "that's stupid".

 I'll just say logically and scientifically the existance of a higher power is undeniable. Scientists and the brightest minds on earth still can't explain how everything was created.

Argument from ignorance? "We don't know how it works therefore god did it". That argument for a god of the gaps is neither logical nor scientific but it is eminently religious.

Now honestly I wish I could explain how God was created, the Bible says he always has been and always will be.

Congratulation on at least realising that the explanation you believe in has its own gaps.

In the end thier are just things we will never be able to explain until we go to heaven and ask the big man himself.

Assuming you are right of course. If atheists are right then we are stuck with whatever explanations fits the data until we die then there is no 'we' to do the asking. If another religion is right then you might have to ask the devil himself or other cows (reincarnation).

 Scientists always try to explain everything but in doing so they create just as many knew questions.

That's what's so great about science. If we kept with the explanations of the world in the bible we would be in a boring place that is pretty much how our common sense tells us it is. Science allows us to see that the world is much more wonderful than the writers of the bible ever imagined it to be.

Nobody will ever be able to understand how God created the earth or Universe.

Change that to 'In all probability, nobody will ever be able to understand how the Universe came to be' and I will agree. We already have a very good understanding of planetary formation and thus of how the earth came to be.

Some believe in the word of God, others in scientific theories and yet others such as myself a man of science and religion.

I don't believe in scientific theories.

But nobody no matter how smart will ever be able to fully grasp it.

I agree, even if only restricting ourselves to present scientific knowledge there is so much and it is so wondrously strange that one person cannot understand all of it in depth.
