I think Mercury once was the moon of Venus !!!

Yes, because every planet in our solar system has at least 1 moon.

That proves that moonless planets are the exception and I think this
is either a case of moon-theft or a runaway moon.

So I think that Mercury once was the moon of Venus, a planet which
once was like Earth.

In a big interplanetar war between the Martians and the Venusians, the
Martians probably stole Mercury from Venus, causing the destruction of
the Venus atmosphere.

At the same time, Venusians nuked Mars, so Mars is pretty dead, too.

Or, that planets as close to the sun as both Mercury and Venus were unable
to form into more than a single enitity. Sorry to bust your bubble that
easily, but science must explore more than a single notion.

Why not two independent planets as we see now from day 1?
