I was channel surfing and came upon the end of the movie Ice Age: Collision Course, where the cartoon actor was talking about how Mars was once habitable, which makes me wonder if people ever lived there.
Scientists also think it’s possible the same goes for Venus.

If other planets were once habitable, and/or inhabited, does that contradict the Bible or Catholicism?

I wouldn’t place any stock in. theories and theology presented in entertainment purposes kids cartoons. Although I do like ice age.
 
Who says God could only create life on Earth? God is infinitely powerful. He created the entire universe. I don’t see why he’d only create life on a single planet.
 
It’s a cartoon. If Mars had life, it probably wasn’t similar to modern humans on Earth.
 
If by “people” you mean homo sapiens, no, humans never lived on Mars or Venus. They became uninhabitable many millions of years before humans walked the Earth.

As to whether there was ever life on Venus, Mars, or elsewhere, no, it would not contradict the faith.
 
How does that have anything to do with if Homo sapiens were ever on Mars or Venus? I mean they didn’t use a rocket ship to travel from here to there…

I find it fascinating. I was actually just looking up what would be required to terraform Mars a couple of weeks ago. A magnetic shield to protect the atmosphere from solar winds seems the most difficult part.
 
Well, humans couldn’t have been on Mars if they didn’t exist at the time Mars was habitable.
 
Sure they could, if God created them and put them there. So, with that in mind, again, if God created Mars and Venus to be habitable and/or inhabited, would that contradict the Bible or Catholicism?

The Church and scripture tell the story of God’s work on Earth. Both are silent on God’s work elsewhere. There is nothing to be contradicted if life were found elsewhere.

I agree with what @runningdude put. But I also have to add a thing, just because mars was in the posibility of being habitable, does that somehow mean it was habitated ? Not really. If you think about it we might make the moon habitable one day, but that won’t change anything.
