That would be true if evolution was the only factor. But, it isn't. I'm a Christian, so in turn, I beleive in creationism, which is the idea that God created the univers. Since I beleived that God created the univers, there may be another earth like ours. But we just can't be sure right now. I don't know when we will find out. Mabey in 5000 years? Mabye when we all die? Who can say? The earth isn't really that old anyway according to cration. It's only like a couple thousand years old really. So mabey there is another world like ours out there.

So, the answer isn't no anymore. It's, mabey.


Okay, the answer is a little bit more probable if you look at Creation, but still not very for several reasons.

For one, God is creative beyond belief. Just look around you, do you see anything natural that is exactly the same? There's millions of trees on this planet, and they're all different. You could probably make a generalization like "all deer look the same", and that may be true from a human perspective, but they still have differences that make them unique. So with all that creativity, why just create two things exactly the same?

Secondly, it's not in the Bible Razz. It would make sense if the Bible was just from the perspective of the apostles, but the Old Testament isn't. It doesn't say "And on the seventh day he rested...because he still had a whole 'nother planet to create."

Thirdly, even if God did for some reason create two Earths that were exactly the same (Not something the God I think of would do, though, sounds like a competition), they would still end up being different. Why? Because we have free will. It's stressed in the Bible maaaaany many times. We have free will and the ability to decide whether we're going to lead our mortal lives worthy of an after life in heaven. So, what's free will mean? Everybody's going to be different, and make different choices. Heck, maybe God created a second Earth and on that one, Adam and Eve didn't eat the apple. Or maybe just Eve ate it and couldn't convince Adam to do it.

Even with creation, there's still way too many factors.

(Just for the record, I'm a Roman Catholic but I also believe in evolution)
