I have had much experience in scientific research. Actually a lot of my research was inspired by scripture. I say this: dont mistake scripture for 'popular opinions'. There is nothing in Genesis that precludes the existence of life on other planets or in other solar systems in other galaxies.
In Ephesians 1-3, it speaks of Jesus rising from the dead and being made to sit (conferrance of a seat of governance) and being made to sit in the heavenlies.
If you want what I am convinced to be a big hint, I have little doubt that the asteroid belt was the result of a intellegently wrought destruction (warlike or otherwise)--ya know like...a war in heaven.
Now remember, Jesus was made to sit in the heavenlies. I have spent much time studying, praying concerning these things. Now, consider the 'sweet influences of the Pleiades'. Consider the waters above the firmament being the multitudes above the firmament. Now imagine specific multitudes above the firmament influencing activites below the firmament sweetly. Now just for grins, consider 'earth' being all dry land throughout all of the solar system and not just on Planet Earth. Consider that the moon specifically is known to have a regulatory affect to provide for sustaining life on Planet Earth. Consider that it is a matter of fact that the moon has regulatory effects on life on earth even when the sun isnt shining. There was an experiment done that showed that certain sea life would open its shell whenever the moon was directly above or directly below (i.e. the moon is not based on daylight regulation but night regulation)--it did not matter whether the sun was out. They even did the experiment IN THE DARK INSIDE A BUILDING and the sea life still opened its shell when the moon was directly below or above. The sun deals with activities that pertain to daylight. The moon also affects chemical processes on the earth. I learned that a chemical process that had interest to me which people said was not predictable was actually predictable--that is, if I did the experiment at specific phases of the moon I got a higher concentration than otherwise.
Consider the potential existence of beings who act as agent of Our Father in the heavenlies who have the knowledge to create planets, stars or the like on His behalf. Consider that God may have been speaking to the heavenly court in Genesis.
Remember, in the past in Europe, those who spoke of the earth being round and who were persecuted long ago. People were told that they would fall off the edge of the earth if they sailed away from Europe. US Slaves were told that Indians would kill them if they ran away. Consider some people might tell you things so that you remain blind to the truth and captive. Or perhaps some things are not told you for your own good until you are ready.
As far as I could see, the Bible doesn't necessarily say anything about there NOT being life on other planets or life outside the earth. As a matter of fact, the Tower of Babel reference speaks of man trying to build a tower to access/reach heaven. Obviously there must be some way for man to live beyond the planet. Consider also potential superior 'spiritual symbology' concerning Tower of Babel.
Again, prayerfully consider these things. There is much hidden that will be revealed to those who dilligently seek God.
And those who refer to Genesis as 'childs play', to say everything came from a random event--might that also be rather flimsy an explaination?
Also, if you really want to fish when a time fish will be biting, get a moon-based chart.

Another thing, I've come across rather strong evidence that the moon is more intelligently designed and controlled than it might otherwise appear. Another thing, this is for those who really want answers and are willing to seek and find, there was a famous album by Pink Floyd called "Dark Side of the Moon", many people think they are talking about the moon above Earth--they aren't. Hint: the moon they are talking about has a name similar to one of Noah's sons. Now what's interesting is that a very famous movie was made about a trip to this moon. However, for some *nudge nudge* strange reason, they used the name of a different moon than in the original basis for the story.
Another thing, maye like when I was the littlest boy reading about astronomy, I learned of quasars and they seemed so weird. I got a revelation from God that they were useful (if not specifically made) for navigational purposes. And what do you know, EVEN GPS/GLONASS SATELLITES use quasars to deal with navigational abberations/errors ("VLBI sources").
