5 - the only ones that could be seen with the naked eye.

8 because it was later discovered that Pluto is not really a planet.
Pluto is a frigid ball of ice and rock that orbits far from the Sun on the frozen fringes of our Solar System. Considered a planet, though a rather odd one, from its discovery in 1930 until 2006, it was officially stripped of its status as our Solar System's 9th planet by the International Astronomical Union in August 2006.
Pluto is now officially classified as a dwarf planet. It is one of the largest members of a class of icy spheres known as Kuiper Belt Objects. It has 3 known moons; one of which, Charon, is very large - almost as big as Pluto itself!

Probably 4, maybe 5, since those would have been the only ones visible to someone at that time (Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus and possibly Mercury)

Some of the people who answered this question didn't understand that you are being ironic (against creationists).
So i have to make clear that
the bible isn't refering to the number of the planets.
If anyone tried to convince you for that tell us. I dare everybody to find the chapter and verse in the bible to prove it.
the Bible is one but people don't always get the meaning and for worse they continue to distort it.

There definition of planet would be diffrent then ours, if it said 8 ppl before would say it's wrong if it said 9 people now would say it was wrong, if it said 9+ everyone would say it's wrong and if it said over 7 people of it's time would say it's wrong

are you referring to planets, or planets in the solar system?
if planets, it could be a larger number
if solar system, it would say 8, because the anti-pluto community has teamed up to demote the 2nd greatest planet in the solar system.
again, it could say more because we might extend the planets of the solar system in the future

Wow, that would be a pretty big number. 9 or 8? Neither.

8, damn scientists keep changing their minds, suddenly the world is 100 million years old in the 1800s now it's 4.5 billion years old, now there's only 8 planets instead of 9!!!!
Scientists shouldn't be trusted they always change what they say while the Bible never changes!!!!
-typical dumb creationist

That depends on whether you want the Dwarf Planets too.

it could theoretically say anything and still be right. We might still find one to add, or take more out of the system. If it was talking about just our solar system.
