Some have postulated the theory that superior intelligent lifeforms or extraterrestrials would build large structures surrounding their stars or planets as a way to harness or reuse the energy collected.
The official scientific paper can be read here.
Janna Levin, a professor of astronomy and physics at Barnard College and Columbia University, is doubtful of the findings.
I would say I’m very open-minded. I’m not losing sleep over the idea that we are observing an alien megastructure. I don’t think that’s what’s happening in these scenarios, but we are in a new era in terms of our understanding of how prevalent planets are, and how planets are absolutely prolific in the universe.
That really suggests that life is prolific. The question is whether or not life can easily reach the phase of industrialization and building things and exploring space. That’s a much, much harder bar to get over.
Levin told NewsNation.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: [21] Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
I don’t put any stock or worth into the vast majority of mainstream “science” these days. Most of it is just is just an excuse to explain away the existence of a divine Creator God, and is just their own philosophies and more “sophisticated” way of window-dressing for “Gentiles walk[ing], in the vanity of their mind, [18] Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:” (Ephesians 4:17-18).
Having said that, what often times scientists and alien idolators often call aliens and ETs are actually celestial and angelic bodies described in scripture, but they don’t realize it because of what Ephesians 4:17-19 and other passages like it describe. I did study a number of years ago going through the scriptures delving into this alien craze, and how a lot of alien lovers are just glossing over the word of God plainly states concerning this issue. YouTube deleted it along with my channel, so maybe I’ll redo it some day if people are interested…
When I heard of these Dyson Spheres, it made me immediately think of an obscure passage in Ezekiel:
Ezekiel 1:15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. [16] The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. [17] When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. [18] As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. [19] And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. [20] Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. [21] When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. [22] And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. [23] And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. [24] And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
This is referring to the cherubim who shroud Jesus Christ the Lord of glory on his throne
Let me be clear in saying that I am NOT saying this passage describes these “Dyson Spheres,” nor am I saying I take these recent reports with any real seriousness. I just thought it was interesting and I figured I’d put it out there and let people share their thoughts in the comments.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

This is science falsely so called at its finest just teaching fables. And it goes to show how rather knowingly or unknowingly these “wise” men of the world are working for Satan… all trying to undo the promises in the word of God…
– Jeremiah 31:37 KJV Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
The Ezekiel passage is the one where some professing Christians recite to defend their belief in aliens and UFO’s.
No, no.
I don’t believe that either. It’s a guttering of scripture. It’s plainly referring to the cherubim.
Same Ezekiel scripture came to mind but only distorted by these clowns who mock God’s word. Same distortion when they call Satan an angel.
Same with distortion of Exodus 24:10 they stole it and applied it to their virgin female pagan goddess “Mary” aka Lorelei/Diana etc…
The time is definitely at hand for you to redo that study. It was a blessing then and it will be a blessing today, too, as alien talks are on the rise more than ever.
I would definitely be interested in seeing your research, Jacob. The gyroscopic nature & wheels within wheels, living chariots of the cherubim in Ezekiel, horses IN the chariots (Zechariah), are being popularized & spun unbiblically in various ways to condition people to some end, & many are deceived.

That de Grasse guy is up to his neck in popularizing a lot of that. Guess we can’t say anything because he’s not a white Caucasian, right? Perfect medium for the puppetmaster builders who’ve rejected the chief cornerstone.
–
I’ve watched Mike Hoggard go off the rails, suspecting that it’s due to his over trust in ‘science’ & the modern medical machine & meds, refusal to change bad eating habits & apply biblical temperance, addiction to tv & modern pop culture: watching too many Judge Judy reruns etc : – ), his delving too deeply into the occult aspects of that whole thing, carelessness in associations, & his easily manipulated overreaction to supposed racism because his daughter is married to a Hamite Kenyan….but there is definitely something afoot there for so much ‘handling’ & trouble to be taken.
–
I hasten to add that I don’t think he’s a lost man, but definitely one suffering chastening& evidencing salvation. It brings me no pleasure to have to warn about him & find it tragic, but a sign of the times in which we live.
–
The Bible speaks much of the fixity of the earth with regard to which many over correct to the flat earth insanity, and with godly reason rejected & handling there, too, I might add. When men left that model, rejecting the biblically faithful, evidentiary & scientific work of Tycho Brahe for Copernicus & Galileo, biblical authority was much undermined, while Rome’s power was enhanced. God was lowered, man elevated, & it opened the door to alchemical Deism & ecumenism JUST as Rome was losing her power as the pure word of God preserved outside of her system & control was mercifully being restored to the people.
–
I’ve noted over the years that while Bible believing & championing astrophysicists like Gerardus Bouw have labored to inform people of God honoring evidence to these things, there is also a ‘counter’ to it from Rome & the world in order to downgrade the King James Bible, & to paganize it. There’s a Catholic who was raised up & popularized in recent decades to that specific end. Robert Sungenis. He tends to bring in Hindu Indian & Buddhist Japanese scientists with him to promote his scientific ideas& speculations, while actors like de Grasse are used to popularize it for the masses.
–
Many of the project paperclip nazis brought into this nation, as well as scientific minded Jews who were promoted, were involved in this sort of science, while also dabbling in the occult & spiritism, psychical research, promoting & indulging in all manner of fornications& perversions, & medical research & experimentation to the end of self-justification, gaining power, influence & control over others. NASA people, military people, those involved in scholastic leadership, experimentation, etc. When the nazis were defeated & largely exposed, the eastern front was allowed to collapse, & many of those people not extradited here by Rome & colluding covert agencies, state diplomatic deals etc, were taken into the communist Soviet, deals were made & the ‘curtains’ went up: West and East.
–
I don’t believe for a second that those supposed ‘opposites’ of fascist & communist do not connect back to a common power structure & head in Rome. Nor do I doubt, & there is much evidence of it, that experimentation that could not stand the scrutiny of light & free society continued there, & continued being funded by the same as prior to the war: corporatists and diplomatic, covert agency darkness & cloaking enabling, &, of course, Rome-funneled monies.
–
All of a sudden Rome was the kind & nurturing mama of Vatican II, where before she was openly tyrannical, meddling & Hitler’s Pope Pius XII the head of the Reich Church. The U.N. was empowered & enabled to serve as a ‘neutral’ & ‘scientific’, ‘ecumenical’ front through which nationalism might be gotten around to promote globalism, the age old Romish/Muslic, upper caste & elitist, nicolaitan goals. Bishop Sheen & Cardinal Spellman, & corporate foundation $, steered Billy Graham suddenly had his new evangelical ecumenical global crusade pushing from Lausanne, even entering into ‘closed’ Eastern European & Soviet nations with his ‘crusades’ while real Bible Christians & professing Orthodox Catholic Christians were being persecuted & systematically starved.
–
So there was a religious & a ‘scientific’ door through which globalists worked & steered at that time. Then ‘the Wall came down’…..showtime for the sheep.
–
Anyways, given what’s going on today, I’ve been giving Bouw’s ‘Christianity in the Woodshed’ a closer look. The guy categorically denies the Genesis 1/Ezekiel 28 gap like all the big house ‘Creationist’ people do, & is a 5-pointer Calvinist tulip sniffer. I’m not sold by the anti-gappists’ arguments, their denial of it tends to be ‘invoked’ to try & deny dispensationalism, the current church age distinction, & to serve the interests of the Augustinian kingdom builders, moving men back to Rome’s pagan-corrupted view of the endtimes & mashing together of things that are distinct, including the judgment seat of Christ (1 Cor 3), & the Great White throne judgment (Rev 20)….plus to allegorize & deny the millennial reign.
–
He tends to make some good points though, arguing for the normal grammatical plainness & meaning of the text, & showing observational evidence for it. No experiment has ever proved the earth to be moving, for instance………and it was becoming such an embarrassment to the Bible deniers & powerful, antichristian power-centralizing interests, that the manner of funding & gate-keeping certifications aspects of scientific enquiry & the interpreting & informing of the public of the findings was changed. Not JUST biological evolution was a ‘black box’ once the corporate powers that be, & that of financing, had their way. And perverted ‘law’, & copyright, corporate schools & corporation funded research departments….had a LOT to do with both biblical counterfeiting, & controlling what scientific experimentation was done, as well as how experimental findings were interpreted & released to the public, or not.
–
That’s how every-word-Bible baptists were first lured into ‘Fundamentalism’, editing the preaching and emphasis of ministry, cheapening & lowering it to worldly Romish politicism ———removing the power, erasing distinctions etc.
–
If what Bouw observed and taught concerning the second heaven’s substance & material makeup with what he called the plenum of the firmament, then the observations of aviators bouncing off the so-called von Karman line between the open first & closed second firmament makes biblical and scientific sense both. It would be like trying to enter moving water at the wrong angle.
–
On the other hand, once into that moving substance & current, you would be moving with it and not have a point of reference for what was actually fixed, and what moving.
–
Then there are the spiritual aspects of it. For instance, what’s written in Job about the sweet influences of the Pleiades, Arcturus & the bands of Orion…the warning there about being tempted to worship heavenly bodies secretly etc. Which was later associated with the idolatries & debauchery of the Canaanite nations, the Genesis 6 corruption and the rebellion at Babel, the mess at Sodom….and forbidden in the law of Moses to the protection of his people.
–
I get suspicious whenever men feel the need to use lies & easily demonstrated falsehood to promote some stand or idea…and there’s plenty of that in the realm of both ‘religion’ & ‘science’.
They really, really, really hate the doctrine of the dispensational distinctions and 2 Timothy 2 KJB.
And they really, really, really hate the Pauline epistles& both the beginning & closing chapters of the King James Bible….both those ancient antichrists & Christ-rejecters, the gnostics, Talmudic Jews, Ebionites and so forth: AND the current ones.
–
Even to the creation of texts removing the marks of an Apostle, the doctrine of the Godhead& Christ, most of Genesis and all of Revelation & the Pauline epistles: now I wonder who and what spirit that would benefit?
–
There may be more to ‘outer darkness’ than we tend to think about: both beneath our feet, & beyond the open firmament creation which man was given dominion over before the fall of Genesis 3. We know that the firmament was created by God on the second day (2 number of choice, division) to separate the waters above from the waters below. It is the only day of the creation week of Genesis 1&2 the work of which God does not call ‘good’.
–
A lot of things change in the world and creation during the time of Jacob’s trouble when spiritual warfare & the spiritual realm will be visible, men’s hearts will be failing them for fear of what they SEE coming upon the earth.
–
Then there’s that non-mankind seed aspect that mingles with the seed of men in Daniel 2 KJB.
–
Satan needs an alternative explanation & narrative concerning those events & that time fast approaching. And, men seeking to deny God & his word, atheists….professional agitating naysayers of God and his word, those seeking self-justification etc….go to great lengths studying the word, often more than believers who should be in that word daily, in order to try and break, or deny it. Sometimes in order to mimic God’s work (like Jannes and Jambres), or to ‘fulfill’ it falsely & deceptively. To ‘pre-empt’ fulfillment: ‘defuse’ prophecy. To create confusion and doubt.
–
I believe that it’s worth studying out for those in a position to do so without shirking plain duty, or going beyond the bounds set by our Lord for our good, & our protection, as well as a measure of our love for him, obedience, & keeping of his word. The work of every season of life is not always the same in every aspect. Another reason for keeping close to the Lord in prayer & relationship, and being in the word continually.
I would like to read about the study you did (by the grace of God) debunking the aliens sadly my parents believe in this alien nonsense. I haven’t said anything to my parents about the ufo lies, my mom would highly likely not agree with me, but she would not turn it into a fight but my dad on the other hand… he has anger issues, and he will cause a fight to happen I do believe my parents are saved they just ant heeding God’s warnings.
