What could possibly be a link between Martian microbes and evolution?

There is virtually no mention of the planets in the bible. Maybe once in the OT, in a passage against astrologers, and not at all in the NT. The typical phrase is "sun, moon, and stars," as if there were no distinction between a star and a planet. Clearly, Ken Ham could have no scriptural information about life on Mars, and because he's a deranged fool, he surely he has no scientific information -- about that or anything else. His gripe is that the media don't call him all the time for his views on everything. As if he had anything to say.

He has much to say, but unfortunately for him, a babies dirty diaper has more content than his wild babblings.

Job 9:9
He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion,
the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.

Amos 5:8
...he who made the Pleiades and Orion,

Luke 21:26
26Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

Acts 7:42
42But God turned away and gave them over to the worship of the heavenly bodies.

I believe they called planets "heavenly bodies". The Romans had many Gods named after planets. Mars, Venus... There is no reason to believe that the Bible disregards the planets (see Acts 7:42) The writers clearly would have known about planets being contemporaries of Egyptians, Greeks and Romans.

The Bible does not claim to be a science textbook. Only a message from God to you. And most frequently it is spoken in spiritual terms.
