Demonstrably wrong.


flat earth
illuminati
chi power
thinking aliens exist because universe is big
believing news because it fits a persons bias
thousands of genders


demonstrate how this is wrong if it is demonstrably wrong

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes
He is best known for being the first person to calculate the circumference of the Earth, which he did by applying a measuring system using stadia, a standard unit of measure during that time period. His calculation was remarkably accurate. He was also the first to calculate the tilt of the Earth's axis (again with remarkable accuracy). Additionally, he may have accurately calculated the distance from the Earth to the Sun and invented the leap day.[4] He created the first map of the world, incorporating parallels and meridians based on the available geographic knowledge of his era.


we have more data because of tools, but you seriously argue man today is less ignorant? prove it


Aliens do exist. They just don't exist within a sphere of space and time that allows us to see them and them to see us within the limitations of the speed of light. There could be aliens 1 million light years away at this very moment looking at earth through some crazy high tech alien telescope and they'd be all "No intelligent life here... moving on" simply because there wasn't intelligent life here 1 million years ago.

That one example doesn't really work in your argument unfortunately. It's just that the likelihood of any aliens being aware of us or us of them at any point in the future is astronomically unlikely due to the size of the universe, so basically "aliens exist because the universe is big, but the universe is so big that we will never find these aliens nor will they find us" is actually well supported.
