1) aliens exist
2) it's possible to detect them
3) they're advanced enough to employ interstellar travel
4) they visited our planet in specific
5) they chose to intervene on our planet in specific, on the behalf of our species in specific
6) they knew what interventions would be beneficial to our species
7) they left incontrovertible proof of their interaction with us


I could keep going, but seriously, the number of presuppositions you have to make just to even consider "ancient aliens" is even higher than the presuppostions needed for Creationism.
