Do you really need an answer to that question? The extent to which we understand anything about the nature of the universe (and about our place in it) has remained unchanged for the last 2000 years, in your opinion?
I get that you like to reflexively disagree around here, but this one is pretty over the top.
But fine, I’ll bite. Here’s just a few…
Calculus
Statistical inference
Microscopes
Telescopes
Spectroscopes
Atomic theory
Natural selection/evolution
Cognitive science
The internet
Radiometric dating
Newtonian mechanics
Electromagnetism
Thermodynamics
Relativity
Quantum mechanics
Cybernetics
Experimental design
Precision metrology
Chaos theory
Game Theory
Nonlinear dynamics
Machine learning
Cryptography
Signal processing
Biochemistry
Immunology
Simulation modeling
And on
And on
And on
And on
And on
It is self evident that our understanding of our place in the universe has advanced drastically over the last 2000 years. Arguing against that is just arguing for arguing’s sake.

A book like the Bible, which is supposed to contain the comprehensive history of the universe
The Bible is the word of God. It is not all of God. His glory extends far beyond what we are capable of understanding. And therefore, far beyond what we are capable of writing. It therefore cannot, by the very nature of our own limits, be comprehensive.

70% of Earth's population is NOT Christian.

I have reviewed your list supporting your assertion. And will bite back.
"Theories" should be discarded from the list. And anything that can't be empirically "proven" by "scientific method".
I would like to submit evidence to the contrary (overwhelming evidence at that) that man has been far more advanced AND intellectually and physically superior in the deep past.
One only has to call to witness as simple testimony the vast size, precision of architecture and infrastructure of many (un-datable) ancient buildings, city/town layouts, canal systems, fortresses, statues, art-work constructed thousands of years ago.
Speculation, but it appears we have LOST (or hidden) 90% of the previous knowledge and history that cannot be discerned or imagined.
There is nothing new under the sun. Man has devolved drastically and dramatically. "Reality" in year 2026 is testimony of that.

Some people are OK with not having an answer for that.

You’re not naive…poor choice of words…you are actually like most people.
Most humans prefer narrative before truth, comfort before ambiguity…so no, you aren’t naive…but you are objectively wrong.

Actually and most disturbingly, the poster happens to be correct.
Even worse news: Tomorrow's world will fall to an evil and further unimaginable depths that will make today's world seem like a Brady Bunch episode.
"As in the Days of Noah" is a past Biblical prophecy nearly upon us.

Do you believe the earth is only 6,000 years old?

The idea that the Bible claims the earth is 6,000 is pure myth. Nowhere does it say that.
If you’re going to downvote it, then point out book, chapter, and verse where it claims the earth is 6,000 years old.

Pair it with some Angel-food cake... or Heavenly Ham.

answer my question. I believe a higher power created humans. If you don't, then what created us and why did it stop at us and not create anything else anywhere else?

All three of these statements are correct:
If aliens do not exist, that fact would lend support to Christianity and biblical creation.
If Christianity and biblical creation are not true, there have to be aliens out there.
If aliens exist, Christianity and biblical creation could still be true, but it makes for an interesting discussion

Well, at least you don't seem to subscribe to primordial ooze ---> human.
