Molecule responsible for robbing Venus of its water may finally have been identified

“Scientists have identified a water-loss mechanism on Venus that could explain how the once water-rich world became completely parched.”

A “molecule high in Venus' atmosphere, water escaped Venus at double the rate previously estimated. As faster water loss means less time is needed to boil away the planet's water reservoir, scientists say Venus may have harbored oceans — and potentially habitable conditions — for longer than previously thought before the drying process began.”

According to some evolutionists, "this would provide more time for possible life to arise," study co-author Eryn Cangi, a research scientist at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) ,”

 “Prior studies suggest that both Venus and Earth likely received similar amounts of water early in their history, mostly from water vapor-spewing volcanoes and icy comets that frequently bombarded the worlds.”

But only God can give life to a planet,
