The quasi-canon book "Star Trek: Star Charts" substantiates this.<BR/><BR/>-The reference work The Worlds of the Federation by Shane Johnson had a similar explanation duplication (although without mentioning parties responsible), but also included a comment revealing that 24th century theologians of the "Judeo-Christian" faiths considered it to be a simultaneous creation by God.<BR/><BR/>-The novel adaptation of "Miri" ignored the duplicate earth stuff and just made it Earth-like.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16823651.post-31272762612121130562007-07-06T09:29:00.000-04:002007-07-06T09:29:00.000-04:00Maybe it's Marvel's Counter-Earth.

Earth is actually an illegally pirated copy of their world. And here come the Intergalatic Copyright Protectors to impound the terabit-torrented copy and give the Q a rather hefty fine for infringing Pegasus Galaxy Copyright laws.<BR/><BR/>Spock to the rescue! He points out that the Pegasus Galaxy's copyright doesn't apply to the Milky Way and so everything is fine.
