$\mathbb{C}$ is isomorphic to $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$?

I know this is false but I can not give a valid argument to justify this, why can not this be given? Thank you very much.

The set of algebraic numbers is countable, the set of complex numbers is uncountable. Therefore, there cannot be a bijection between them.

No:

$\mathbb C$ contains $\pi$, which is transcendental over $\mathbb Q$.

$\overline {\mathbb Q}$ contains only elements that are algebraic over $\mathbb Q$.
