"Just next door, cosmologically speaking, is a planet almost exactly
like Earth. It’s about the same size, is made of about the same stuff and formed around the same star.
To an alien astronomer light years away, observing the solar system through a telescope, it would be virtually indistinguishable from our own planet.
But to know the surface conditions of Venus – the temperature of a self-cleaning oven, and an atmosphere saturated with carbon dioxide with sulfuric acid clouds – is to know that it’s anything but Earth-like.
So how is it that two planets so similar in position, formation and composition can end up so different?"

Well, here's an answer how they ended up so "different"....Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God... Hebrews 11:3
