No, it proves that there are earth sized planets in the so-called 'Goldilocks' zones. It does not prove that there are "Earth-like" planets at all. For the planet to be considered "Earth-like" it would need comparable chemical and resource composition of both land and air, along with water and an atmosphere. In addition, it would also need to have similar density, spin, EM fields, etc etc etc. As I said, the list could go on for a year. We must get out of this reductionist mindset. You can not take a complex system and compare it to another complex system based on one or two similar variables.
