That's an assumption, not a 'fact'.
You assume his brother exists and then talk about being able to fly to see him. Perhaps he made this brother up?
What people are trying to point out is that you routinely make assumptions which you accept as fact so there is a degree of inconsistency in your position.

For those who keep refering to the title and saying it is misleading or ignorant, get over it! Do you want me to change it to "People Say I'm Ignorant Because I Don't Believe In Aliens"? The title is to the point and I will not change it. I have an opinion and that is accurately suggested in the title.

No it's a fact! Prove otherwise. It is far easier for me to prove.

Think about it...Why do people act as if Earth is the Center of the universe? We are so tiny and truly insignificant in the universe that it would break your heart if you really knew.

Trust me, it's not 'a fact'. LOL
You have not confirmed that this 'brother' exists. You have no proof. Yet, you accept it completely, and to such a degree that you are prepared to claim his existence as "fact".
He might exist. He might not. It's just hearsay for you, yet you call it "fact".
That is where your attitude is inconsistent.

Stating something is fact simply because you have no proof to contradict you does not make it true.

Can you please point out what T&C vioalation I am making
That is crazy. I have an opinion and my opinion is "They Don't" all I seem to be getting from people is that "I'm ignorant" which is so far from the truth its "crazy". I was a believer for many years until recently. Everyone has their opinion and I respect theirs so why not mine?

It is a fact (currently) that aliens don't exist.

Now show me an alien.

I like to take the Schrodinger's cat approach to this, or any other unknown.
The Universe is large, we can agree on that right?
The Universe is very dangerous, still with me?
If the condtions meet, Life CAN exist, though we dont KNOW how. (Evolution is JUST A THEORY, same goes for creation)
However, WE do exist.
So, since we cant see the entire Universe, and life CAN and CANNOT exist. (some places it can, some it cant.)
Then one can come to the following conclusion.
Life DOES and DOES NOT exist elsewhere in the Universe, at the same time.
Anyone that claims to go either way and state it as fact, is wrong.
Cheers.
