[Since] 1992, when the first exoplanet was found... nearly 300 have been identified, but they all reside in solar systems that look quite differently from our own...

Before the Creationists start claiming that that implies that our Solar System is somehow "unusual" and perhaps even "miraculous," let's all remember that the "different" appearance of those exo-solar systems is due merely to the so-called "observational effect." In other words: The detection methods our astronomers are currently using aren't capable of discovering solar systems resembling ours, but rather only "aberrant" solar systems with, e.g., Jupiter-sized bodies residing in inner-Mercurian orbits.

Indeed, we could liken it to a man without glasses who is amazed at the clarity of blurs whizzing about him. (Previously he was blind.)
