In light of the broader scientific context, the reality behind the BBC’s headline is far more sobering. The so-called “strongest evidence yet” for extraterrestrial life is, at best, a tentative and unconfirmed spectral signal of dimethyl sulfide (DMS)—a chemical that smells like cabbage, is known to be produced by life on Earth, but can also arise from non-biological processes. This signal comes from K2-18 b, a planet more than twice Earth’s size and about eight times its mass, with a thick, hydrogen-rich atmosphere—a highly reducing and potentially combustible environment were oxygen and a spark somehow present. The planet orbits its star on a noticeably eccentric path, likely causing significant temperature swings—and it may not even possess a solid, or indeed liquid, surface. Far from being a second Earth, K2-18 b is an intriguing but deeply inhospitable world, and a stark reminder of how far the search for truly habitable planets—and life—is from its goal.
There is also a glaring inconsistency: simple chemicals like DMS are supposedly proof of life, because they are too hard to produce inorganically. But evolutionists also believe that the enormously complex and information-rich chemicals of living creatures ultimately DID evolve from non-living chemicals.
The K2-18 b findings highlight once again that while planets beyond Earth are fascinating, they remain lifeless, desolate, ‘waste places’—strikingly unlike the richly inhabited and “good Earth.”19 which God ‘established’ for life:
He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited—Isaiah 45:18
Update 06/03/2025:
So much for the strongest evidence yet. In the video below, Anton Petrov does a great job in breaking it down and basically confirming much of what the creation article above already pointed out, but quite a twist at the end:
