Which is the best way to learn about God's Creation?

(Let's just ignore actually having a chat with Him, and assume that He exists for a moment here.)

1) Looking at everything which He created, learning about it, seeing how incredible it is, and how well God can design a universe that *works*, finding out *how* it works, how any particular thing happened, showing God that all the time He took to make some particularly insignificant thing was not wasted.

2) Literal reading of a book.

Dearest Helena,
By now the news of our defeat has reached the Earth. The creatures we were sent here to tame are untameable, and the colonies we were sent to reclaim have proven to be stronger than we anticipated.
Whatever you may hear about what has happened out here, know this: Alexei did not die gloriously in battle. I killed him. My pride, killed him. And now my pride has consumed me as well.
You will never see me again, Helena. Tell our children that I love them, and that their father died in defence of their future.
Au revoir. -Gerard DuGalle

Option 0ne, for me it's the only way as I don't believe in the bible.

Why read a book on how to fix cars when you want to learn how to perform open heart surgery?

The Bible is a spiritual book about spiritual concerns and not a science book.

When you want to learn about nature and the natural world study it.

When you want to learn about Christianity and its take on the spiritual world study the Bible.

"the great book ... of created things.  Look above you; look below you; read it, note it."  St. Augustine, Sermon 126 in Corpus Christianorum

I must caution you. You started off with an assumption: "assume He exists for a moment".  However, you immediately moved into statements where you think the physical universe is going to prove that assumption:  "how well God can design a universe...showing God that all the time He took to make some particularly insignifica thing"

That isn't going to happen. Because the tool we use to examine the universe -- science -- is limited to looking only at material causes, you are not going to find proof of God in nature. 

If you start with your prior assumptions -- God exists and God created -- then the universe is going to show you how God created.  But it won't go back and show that your assumptions are correct.

I voted READING GENESIS.
