Earthlike? There are over 500 attributes that makes earth livable for this species. At such a distance most of their proof seems to be hallucinations.

Ah, but they said Earth Like, not Earth “Livable”.

In this context, earth-like means a terrestrial planet (ie made of metal and rock as opposed to a gas giant), having a mass comparable to earth, and orbiting its star at a distance such that its temperature is consistent with the presence of liquid water (liquid water may not actually be present, the temperature just can’t be so cold that water would freeze nor so hot that it would boil). That leaves a lot of possible differences between this planet and earth.

Wishful hopefulness of faith assumptions.
