There is hardly a verse in scripture of the evangelically accepted canons (66 books of OT and NT) in which to find anything hinting at God creating more than planet Earth and its atmosphere. This is not saying a created universe is not believable doctrine but it does not primarily come from scripture but more from a review of spiritual insight into the Apostolic faith in the light of relatively modern knowledge of the existence of space beyond the Earth. To my mind the only scripural basis of any certainty beyond forced or contrived interpretation is the Logos doctrine. Christ holding all things together with a law of Christ to which all created things adhere. All things obeying these laws must be so created. The maturing of scientific knowledge leads to an understanding of a common set of Laws of Nature or Mathematical Principles behind all things known to natural sciences so it follows that the Logos belief applies to all these things equally and therefore that all were made by God through Christ.
Considering traditional evidence given for creation taken from Genesis chapter 1, I believe there is evidence that even long before the time of Moses the knowledge of the universe may have been quite advanced. Constellations were recognised. Stars seem to have been understood to be very distant. Explanations of seasons and even the comparison between the lunar and solar calendars were known to Sumerians with knowledge on a par with that of ancient Greek philosopher scientists such as Archimedes and later the magi who visited infant Jesus. God could have explained more detail about creation than is given in Genesis and probably did. Genesis chapter 1 seems to be a very brief summary by way of introduction to the history of Abraham.
