The Bible tells us that God created worlds.

Hebrews 11:3

3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Man has known for centuries that there are other planets in the universe. In the Old Testament during the reign of King Josiah, the Bible speaks of planets.

2 Kings 23:5

5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the Kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.

Let's take a more in depth look at the origin of human awareness of the planets. In the Bible, the first mention of gods being worshiped such as Baal, occurred in the book of Genesis. Laban, the grand nephew of Jacob, speaks of the gods that were stolen from his home. (Genesis 31:30) Jacob's father was Isaac. (Genesis 25:19) Now, let's go back to Jacob's grandfather Abram in Jacob's native land.

Genesis 11:27-28

27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.

28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.

Based on Britannica Online, Ur was located about 10 miles west of the Euphrates River near the Persian Gulf, some 200 miles southeast of modern-day Baghdad, which is now Kuwait. This places the city of Ur in the Babylonian area of ancient times. The story of Babylon first appears with Nimrod the son of Cush, the grandson of Ham (Genesis 10:6, 8-10), a powerful ruler who founded several cities.

Now, the Cushites were naturally descendants of Cush. Writing in the 1^st Century BC, the Greek historian Diodorius Siculus noted that Cushite Ethiopians were the absolute governing class in politics, the army, and the arts. They colonized most of Mesopotamia (the area surrounding Ur, Chaldea). Cushite scientific knowledge, medicine and art, spread throughout the Fertile Crescent from about 2800BC to 2300BC.

From this point on, we will have to plummet into Egyptology. Depending on what you have read, the name Cush is also spelled "Kush".

As stated in Anthony T. Browder's book, Nile Valley Contributions To Civilization, the Kush monarchy was referred to in the Kemetic records of the Old Kingdom as the ancient "Kingdom of Kush", which was a Nubian civilization. The word Nubia was derived from the Kemetic word nub which meant gold. The Nubian Kingdom of Ta-Seti existed during the pre-dynastic era of Kemet (4236-3150BCE). During this time, the Kemetic people were using a 1,460 year old astronomical calendar. The astronomers of Kemet developed stellar, lunar and solar calendars. They also predicted eclipses, plotted the movement of numerous stars, described the method for determining the phases of the moon, and identified five planets. They called Mercury, Sebku, Venus, Bennu-Asar, Mars, Heru-Khuti, Saturn, Heru-Ka-Per and Jupiter, Heru-Ap-Sheta-Taui.

Noah was the father of Ham. (Genesis 10:1) He lived 950 years. (Genesis 9:28) Noah's father Lamech lived 777 years. (Genesis 5:31) Lamech's father Methuselah lived 969 years. (Genesis 5:27) Methuselah's father was Enoch. Now I've regressed 2,696 years before Noah's death (950+777+969=2,696). Which places us in the time of Enoch more than 1,460 years before the Kemetic calendar. He walked with God when he was about 65 years of age. (Genesis 5:21-23) In the book of Enoch, he visited the different levels of heaven. Enoch explains that the 1^st level of heaven contained the stellar rulers amongst other things. When he ascended to the 4^th level of heaven, there were angels attending wheels of the sun and moon. Ascending to the 9^th level of heaven are the homes of the Zodiac. In order to visit the homes of the Zodiac, he had to also learn about some of the planets that are associated with the Zodiac signs. Since the people of Kemet were aware of five planets and Enoch visited the heavens before he was finally taken up, man has known of the existence of some planets as far back as Enoch.

Now that I have regressed into the human history of planet awareness, what was happening on the other planets? Was there life on other planets before man's awareness of their existence thanks to Enoch? Why has science and religion been teaching us that there is no life on other planets, when the Bible states that God created worlds? Why does man believe that life can only exist in a perfect atmosphere such as ours? Who decided that this is the only perfect atmosphere to sustain life? Are there other forms of life that sustained an existence without the basic elements that are on earth?

In Richard C. Hoagland's book, The Monuments of Mars, there is a site located on Mars called the D&M pyramid, named after it's discoverers, Vincent Dipietro and Gregory Molenaar. The pyramid is 2 miles long and half a mile high. There is also a city of pyramids and a face in the same general vicinity as the D&M pyramid.

Since humans have yet to go to Mars, someone or something with intellect had to put the site there. Can't blame it on the wind or rain, because it's impossible for the wind or rain to form perfectly shaped pyramids with one standing half a mile high. Vincent DiPietro and Gregory Molenaar were the first investigators to conduct scientific research on the Cydonian anomalies, later joined by John Brandenburg (DiPietro, Molenaar & Brandenburg, 1988). Mark Carlotto did in-depth studies and tests on the images that were returned by the Viking Orbiter back in the late 80's. Results, the artificial sites depicted in the images are real and of unknown origin from a scientific point of view.

Researchers at Glasgow University are saying that a huge rock formation on Mars' surface is probably a giant fossil. The university says this giant fossil was probably created billions of years ago by microbes. The Pathfinder mission, using a special filter, is designed to look for evidence of silicon microbes, to prove positive that a form of life existed on Mars!

Research is still being done on the planet Venus, some of the moons around Jupiter, and other areas of space. There's a good possibility that some form of life did exist on Venus, and that the moons of Jupiter may have also contained a form of life.

Conclusion:

Science is always trying to prove the Bible wrong. But through science, man is discovering that the Bible has always given us an accurate description of the past, present, and future. We the people have been so misinformed for so many centuries, that only in the 20^th and 21^st century are we able to finally learn the truth through the technology that man has created.  During the 19^th century, who would have thought that man would be taking trips to the moon, photographing other planets close up, or getting samples of the planet's composition. There is or was some form of life outside of the planet earth, and we're just beginning to learn about it.
