This is one of the major things that has always bugged me about the planet
in "Miri".  I just can't buy another planet looking *exactly*
like Earth due to natural forces.  As Garry points out, go back ten to
twenty thousand years and the Earth doesn't look like the Earth. And did
Miri's planet have a moon the same size and mass and in the same orbit as
Earth's moon? If it didn't, then there'd be no way the two planets could
look the same.  Was Miri's planet the same distance from it's star and did
that star have the same energy output and mass as Earth's sun?  All of
these factors make Earth what it is and determine the look of the planet.

And another thing...

To have the same land masses the weather would have had to have been fairly
close to Earth's throughout it's history. Anyone ever hear of the
"butterfly effect"?

Miri's planet has to be artificial.
