...an Earth cousin that just might have liquid water but then again it just might NOT have liquid water.
This is standard modus operandi for all discoveries of exoplanets that make it sound as if there's some idyllic Eden out there, as if we could just hop on the latest warp drive vehicle and get there in no time. This planet has been reported to be orbiting a star 100 million light years from Earth.
In our own solar system there are only two worlds that have liquid oceans on its surface, the Earth, its oceans composed of liquid water and Titan, with liquid methane. Other worlds are simply much too far away to make any determination as to what exists on the surface of any exoplanet.
Suffice to say, to make any statement on what exists on the surface of any planet without direct evidence is worse than mere conjecture. There is absolutely no scientific basis to mention the possibility of liquid water being present on this newly discovered Earth-sized planet. To make such assumptions is not only egregiously irresponsible but is conjecture, anti-science at its worst, discussed on the basis merely for taking flights of fancy.
