You have to remember we are in the end times,so there is a lot of deception,which the Bible says the world will rebel against Christianity.
False teachers,people who do not want Christianity spreading lies to divert people away from Christianity,false science,false beliefs.
How do people know that they are not spreading lies as truth in the attempt to divert people away from Christianity,because they want a world without Christianity,especially when they say the earth is 4.5 billion years old,and some stars are millions of light years away,which is so far fetched,and can they really measure that.
It seems like they come up with those big numbers so nobody can say a young earth creation.
They could be lying,or think that it is true but not.

job 40:15-24
15 “Look at Behemoth,
which I made along with you
and which feeds on grass like an ox.
16 What strength it has in its loins,
what power in the muscles of its belly!
17 Its tail sways like a cedar;
the sinews of its thighs are close-knit.
18 Its bones are tubes of bronze,
its limbs like rods of iron.
19 It ranks first among the works of God,
yet its Maker can approach it with his sword.
20 The hills bring it their produce,
and all the wild animals play nearby.
21 Under the lotus plants it lies,
hidden among the reeds in the marsh.
22 The lotuses conceal it in their shadow;
the poplars by the stream surround it.
23 A raging river does not alarm it;
it is secure, though the Jordan should surge against its mouth.
24 Can anyone capture it by the eyes,
or trap it and pierce its nose?
job 41:1-10
Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
2Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
4Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
5Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
7Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
9Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 10None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
Is 51:9
Awake, awake,(B) put on strength,
O(C) arm of the LORD;
awake,(D) as in days of old,
the generations of long ago.
Was it not you who cut(E) Rahab in pieces,
who pierced(F) the dragon

3 But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. (Psalm 115:3)
The better question is, why not?
20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?" (Romans 9:20)
Clearly, God used the natural world to implement His plan. He created the natural universe, for His purposes, and in the way that He desired to do so. Since He created it in the first place, it makes much more sense to think that He would carry out His plan through the natural unfolding of the physical world, than to assume that every time He wanted to bring something about He had to go back into the world and create it from scratch.
Moreover, it is not our place to question God, nor His purposes or methods. Rather, it is our place to trust Him. Our faith is not rooted in our own understanding of things, but rather in His boundless knowledge and wisdom.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; (Proverbs 3:5)
Why?
8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord. 9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9)
Ultimately, His purposes are beyond our ability to fully comprehend.
33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! (Romans 11:33)
And since when are there aliens? Despite millions of dollars so far spent on SETI (the search for extraterrestrial intelligence), we have come up empty-handed. This is best known as the Fermi Paradox, after the physicist Enrico Fermi, who, in 1950, posed the question, "Where is everybody?" (speaking of extraterrestrial intelligence).
36 For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11:36)

He told Man to BE FRUITFUL , AND """""' REPLENISH """"" THE EARTH... so it must have been a life form God had on the earth before man kind...

From the KJV
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Gen 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

Thanks my friend. I should have probably known. I do not use the Old King Jimmy anymore.
I looked up the hebrew word.
A. Verb.
male˒ (מָלֵא, 4390), “to fill, fulfill, overflow, ordain, endow.” This verb occurs in all Semitic languages (including biblical Aramaic) and in all periods. Biblical Hebrew attests it about 250 times.
Basically, male˒ means “to be full” in the sense of having something done to one. In 2 Kings 4:6, the word implies “to fill up”: “And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said.…” The verb is sometimes used figuratively as in Gen. 6:13, when God noted that “the earth is filled with violence.” Used transitively, this verb means the act or state of “filling something.” In Gen. 1:22 (the first occurrence of the word), God told the sea creatures to “penetrate” the waters thoroughly but not exhaustively: “Be fruitful, and multiplyand fill the waters in the seas.” Male˒ can also mean “to fill up” in an exhaustive sense: “… And the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle” (Exod. 40:34). In this sense an appetite can be “filled up,” “satiated,” or “satisfied.”
Vine, W. E., Unger, M. F., & White, W. (1996). Vol. 1: Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (81). Nashville, TN: T. Nelson.
I am not sure how the authors of the KJV came up with "replenish" but that does not appear to be what God said. How could they replenish the earth, when it has never been filled to begin with.
The same word is used with noah, and although it might fit. It still would be a stretch to use it. as the word literally means "fill" or "be filled"
