The Bible describes Satan, commonly called Lucifer, as having had a place in heaven. Where in heaven did satan lucifer dwell, and what happend to this being? Our research suggests satan, or lucifer, dwelt in a literal location in the heavens... which when destroyed left the debris we now see as asteroids and comets.
With the evidence of oceans of water having once flowed on Mars' surface in huge quantities, it was apparent that the Martian atmosphere was once more dense, the climate much more hospitable. Sometime in the remote past, for reasons still being debated by astrophysicists, there was a cataclysm on Mars. The Martian oceans washed over the surface of the planet, inundating continents. The vast atmosphere was ripped away,

Standard Christian lore calls their Lucifer the Morning Star - that means Venus.
Before Christianity demonized him (literally), Lucifer was the Etruscan sun god. The only "fall" was the Christian smear campaign against Italian paganism.

You are trying to put it all together in a way that makes sense. Me, too. But I think the direction being taken is a little off course. I see a whole bunch of wondrous natural stuff around me every day. The beautiful mountains that border the city I live in, Anchorage, are just getting their first dusting of snow this year. They are there to be enjoyed and explored, but I see no need to give them any other purpose than that. They resulted from natural processes and are not the source of anything really special in the spritual side of us.
Atheists love to poke fun at us as we try to explain away all things natural from a spiritual perspective, and I can see their reasoning. The truth is that our spirit belongs to God and God is not limited to living in the things we see or touch. God made all of our universe from where He is now. Where He is you will find heaven. Until we go there we have a truly magnificent light show to enjoy.
The idea that Mars once had vast oceans was introduced by some who want us to believe that life here is not so special because our universe must have more. Scientific evidence pointed to this being so. The last evidence I saw from science is that there was never any possibility of those oceans existing. Most likely there will be even more evidence of one sort or another for scientists to speculate over and assign some great importance. It is all very amusing from the spiritual perspective.

The spacing of the planets suggests that there used to be one where the asteroid belt is now, and that planet exploded. Just past the orbit of Pluto is the Kuiper belt that contains thousands of comets - inert and passing nowhere near the sun. The Oort cloud, at the edges of the Solar system, may contain billions of them. (Other stars are surrounded by similar clouds). Every so often (about every 70 million years or so) the Sun and its Solar system passes through one of the Galaxy's spiral arms. The resulting chaos sends comets flying into the Solar System. It is thought that an impact from one of these comets destroyed the missing planet, and a previous impact on Earth caused the catacylsm that wiped out the dinosaurs. Mars has had three major impacts: one from a 30 km wide object, one from a 70km wide object and one 100km wide (these figures from the size of the resultant craters). Any of these comets or asteroids, had they hit the Earth instead, would have wiped out the human race. Anyway, that's where the water and thicker atmosphere on Mars went. Boiled away in the enormity of the explosions.

That's very interesting. Did you know that there are planets circling around other stars? There's every reason to believe that other stars also have asteroid belts and cometary halos.
No, m'dear, I think our solar system is unique only in having a cool place like Earth, and a life form with an "integrated consciousness."

Um I assume you put that out there because the page also says something about the Devil's Bible. That's a different story. A book from the middle ages was found that has a drawing of the devil in it. Didn't read the whole story... don't care that much.

LOL ok now this is going too far.
I did a search for the word "Satan" in the article you linked, but with no luck. Call me crazy, but I think you are just making stuff up.

I don't think Lucifer and Satan are the same. You may want to research this. As for the rest. All of it sounds like sci-fi.

Lucifer isn't the same as Satan, it's a term that applied to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.
Satan wasn't ousted from heaven until 1914, until that time he still had access to heaven as we can see in the book of Job.

That made about as much sense as a retarded monkey, urinating on a goat wearing S&M leather.
