If life began by evolution, then why didn't any of the other planets have everything we have, on them?

No one has been able to answer these yet. Do scientists mean to tell us that Earth was the "only special one" that got any or every type of creature on it? That'd be a pretty good trick! 😄 Why didn't evolution cause creatures of any and every sort on any other planets? Even Mars is bare, maybe with a little bacteria here and there, but if evolution was true, it would have so much more.

So evolution had a brain and picked and chose which planet it would bring all types of life and intricate detail to, then hung all the planets and stars in the sky with perfect placement and exact timing each needed for everything to work perfectly? God gave us more intelligence than that. And remember...in the beginning, before God made anything, the earth was void.

Genesis 1:1 tells us that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form and void (Genesis 1:2). The Hebrew word tohu is translated as “without form” or “formless,” and bohu is rendered “void” or “empty.”

John 1:3 - "All things were made by Him; and without Him, was not any thing made that was made.

Empirical science is accepted by my church leaders as long as it is empirical science.
I hope they are saying that because of the level of reasoning we are blessed with, meaning all intelligence has some level of reasoning. Humans are higher than animals. Well most are, and angels would be higher than humans. So that said human levels make us inquisitive. We naturally seek out the why and how etc. It's just how we are, although some like me when it gets to the either or part I tend to go with a mental flip of the coin. I call heads it's often tails and I bumble around at times before I get it . It's like giving the wrong answer on the Internet. If you want the answer to something just ask it and write in the wrong answer. Go get a beer and by the time you get back you'll have the answer. People tend to like to one up. It's a good feeling to think one is just a little smarter. That feeling may not be endorsed so much by the Creator. But imagine his infinite ability to reason. Glad He loves us(most the time).
I sincerely believe science and the Bible will will merge or be proof of each other. But that won't be in our life time unless the rapture is closer than I think. I sorta wanna be dead. That way if I don't measure up I won't be waiting for some horseman to come chop my head off. I'll just be dead and stay dead. Never the wiser. I wish ha! I've worked outside most my life so maybe I'll be used to some of the heat at where I'm subject to be. Save my soul Heavenly Father.
Good answer as usual. You make me think. That can be taken either way lol.
I always get dysentery of the oral cavity on this subject. But I listen too that's how I learn. May peace be with all y'all.

Jesus said that we must be Born Again in order to see the kingdom of God, we must be born of water and of the Spirit in order to enter God's kingdom. This way we can know the Truth and be set free from all this guessing.

@kentex35 As always, thanks for your contribution and thoughts on this controversial subject, which in itself, brings much contemplation. I agree. The Lord wants us to seek the truth and be humble about it, rather than think we're smarter or better than another, or one up on anyone. Pride comes before the fall, the gospel says. That goes for us all. We can all learn from each other.

Science and Scripture are completely compatible, as science is understood to be the careful study of God's works of creation. Many of those who reject the Christian faith, do so because they believe that the Bible contradicts science. But, whether there is actual conflict and contradiction, depends on how one defines the Bible and science. If the Bible is defined as “a book of fairy tales and superstitions” and science is defined as “proven facts,” well then, obviously this will cause conflict and the two will be incompatible as sources of truth. If the Bible is understood to be the Word of God and science is understood as a materialistic methodology that rules out the very possibility of God, then yes, there will be a conflict. I submit, however, that these are not the best starting definitions and that if we think more carefully about both the Bible and science, we will see that they are not necessarily in conflict.

Christians understand God to be the Creator of all things in heaven and earth. Christians also believe that God has revealed certain truths about Himself through His created works (Rom. 1:20). Theologians speak of this as general revelation. God has also revealed Himself in His Word. We speak of this as special revelation. An important point to keep in mind is that with both general revelation and special revelation, God is the Revealer. Because God is infallible, there is no possibility of conflict or contradiction between His general revelation and His special revelation. God is the one infallible source of both.
