That is not using spectrography, which is the measure of the wavelength of radiation, in order to determine size. That is using the variations in the total output of light of the parent star in order to provide a rough guess. Go to about 2:00 in your video: "That dimming is what Kepler is designed to detect."
You should probably quit yammering about education until you've gotten one. You should probably also

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.
Then you should criticize the guilty parties, headline writers, rather than focusing on your pet bugbear.
As for conditions on exoplanets, some can be inferred from data such as closeness to the parent star, and atmospheric composition. You should read up on that, it's pretty interesting stuff and you might actually learn something.
Also, I noticed you did not provide the requested evidence. Why don't you do that before we move this conversation any further? I'm not in the mood to be chasing goalposts today.
