Some evolutionists think that a Trappist star system could harbour life. TRAPPIST-1 is a small red dwarf star with at least seven planets.

 Found in 2016, it is situated 40 light years from us. It  lies within the Goldilocks zone where life is expected  to flourish. and it may have a  nitrogen-rich atmosphere like Earth’s.

TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf, it is much cooler than our own sun, making the readings more complex. For instance, chemicals like water that could indicate a hospitable atmosphere might actually be present in the star itself.  

But intelligent design might not be present on the exoplanet, that would make it not habitable for life.
