It is instructive that the ancients worshiped Jupiter and Saturn as the two chieftain gods in all of the antique religious systems. If the present solar system was present in the distant past, one would expect primitive peoples to have worshiped the most visible of the astral bodies: the Sun, the Moon, and Venus. There is no conceivable reason they would worship as gods two planets which most people cannot even find in the night sky — unless, of course, these bodies occupied a far more prominent place in the heavens than they do today.
Or perhaps the alleged collision that caused the moon and added mass to the earth had not happened yet?
Thought that was the argument for the now-”debunked” young earth theory, though that would not agree with “settled science”.
(Now that we recently re-wrote all the History, Science and Astronomy books to include the Fraud and his anthropomorphic climate change dogma).
They didn't worship the planets as gods. The Romans worshipped their chief deity, Jupiter. The planet was named Jupiter by the Romans after their chief diety since it was the largest planet they could see. The Sun, the moon and Venus (named so by the Romans) were already named.
