Setting aside for the moment the fact that spectrography is a well-understood phenomenon which does not change depending on what part of the Universe it's in, it is not used to to determine a planet's size.
Generally speaking, the laws of the Universe seem to work no matter where in the Universe we look. If you have evidence indicating otherwise, have you published it in a peer-reviewed journal?
Ah, how cute.. Your trying to correct me without understanding how the Kepler space telescope works..

If you can't be bothered to watch this video, just know that kepler is not able to determine a planet's viability to sustain life. A rough estimate of a planet's size, orbit, and relative position is what The Kepler ST was designed to determine. Not atmospheric conditions/ablity to sustain life. That fact compared to the headlined "Earth's cousin found" is what I mean by science taking HUGE LEAPS in Faith that God does not expect any of us to take.
