Filmmaker Dan Farah, appearing recently on Joe Rogan’s podcast to promote his documentary “The Age of Disclosure,” has ignited a debate over government efforts to reverse-engineer alien technology. According to Farah, the U.S. federal government spent more than $1 trillion chasing extraterrestrial craft and knowledge, with evidence allegedly drawn from “years of receipts” involving thousands of ordinary citizens.
Rogan, who has expressed growing curiosity about such topics, appears receptive to this claim. However, critics argue that while both Rogan and Farah eagerly embrace the idea of nonhuman intelligences arriving on Earth, they overlook a crucial piece of the puzzle: why humanity should revere these beings as wiser sources of truth when intelligence itself is rooted in divine creation?
As the text suggests, the very notion that extraterrestrial entities might hold superior knowledge raises profound questions. Under materialism, advanced life from another star system seems biologically improbable due to cosmic timelines and physical constraints. Even if such beings existed, their interactions with Earth would likely involve deception or manipulation—akin to old biblical warnings against dabbling in forbidden “wisdom.”
The comparison isn’t far-fetched. Farah’s narrative of benevolent aliens conducting close encounters on our planet echoes New Age beliefs about “ascended masters” and spiritual guidance from beyond the stars. Yet, scripture cautions that contact with malevolent forces leads to ruin—not salvation or hidden wisdom.
Whether through government programs or cosmic visitors, humanity has historically chased nonhuman intelligences for secrets of life or power. But as one philosopher-author noted, “Demonic influence is not a science-fiction plot.” It remains an urgent warning: the true source of wisdom lies in God, not among the stars.
