The claims of NASA that are sensationalized in the popular media are nothing but
suppositionary, assumptive untruths intentionally presented in a manipulative manner.
It is not logically valid to take the evidence they have about "planets" in the Kepler belt
and launch media campaigns saying that they've found new earth-like planets.
Quite simply, they are promoting falsehood.
In truth they know absolutely nothing about the objects. They have not even seen the objects
and if the objects exist at all, they have no way of identifying their compositions, because all
they have done is observed a dip in the starlight. The dip in the starlight, according to their
mathematics, suggests an interference within a "habitable zone" that is formed by their mathematical
model of the star's power. If an object exists, and is not just an errant function of the star,
then the object could still have anything for a mass and composition. How they fantasize
and lie to the public about this dip in starlight is truly irresponsible and misleading.
