Well, that's not really a valid statement. Sure, we haven't encountered a planet with those abilities yet, but that doesn't make it impossible.

Remember this but of dialogue from Amy's Choice?


 * AMY: So this must be the dream. There's no such thing as a cold star. Stars burn.
 * DOCTOR: So's this one. It's just burning cold.
 * RORY: Is that possible?
 * DOCTOR: I can't know everything. Why does everybody expect me to, always?

You can't dismiss it being a planet just because an average planet doesn't do the above. Honestly, it's a big universe; there's bound to be a planet like Akhaten somewhere.

Anyway, do we even have definitive proof that the Old God and Akhaten are one and the same? Did the Doctor ever explicitly relate them?
