Each planet is uniquely different from the other planets.
	a) Saturn — rings which are such complex structures that they could not be maintained for billions of years. Evolutionists claim that they must have been formed millions even billions of years after Saturn was. It is difficult to consider an adequate explanation. b) Venus — once thought to be very similar to Earth, but it has an atmosphere of CO2 and sulfuric acid. Its average temperature is 750° C. c) Mars—evolutionists expected to find life on Mars, or the precursors of life. Creationists predicted that there would not be life on Mars. They found no undisputed evidence of life on Mars. d) The moon—When the first astronauts went to the moon, they were quarantined because it was thought that they may have been exposed to a new infectious organism.
