He didn’t tell us anything about “out there”.

Yes, he did. "For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. (Romans 8:22)

Therefore, anything could be in play.

Nothing that contradicts His will and His qualities as expressed in Scripture is possible.

The Bible is NOT a technical manual for the Universe, nor was it intended to be. Besides, God didn’t write the Bible.

"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." (2 Tim. 3:16-17)

If you fence out Scripture, of course it says nothing to you.

...inspired by God...

But, alas, not written by God. It was subject to the level of understanding of the men who did write it. But, that doesn't pose a problem because there isn't any technical or scientific material in the Bible.

If you fence out Scripture, of course it says nothing to you.

Scripture prescribes the basis for living a God-pleasing life, and then demonstrates that we are quite incapable of living to those necessary standards. Next it details Hope for reconciling with God. Finally, we are provided Salvation by Grace alone through Faith in Jesus Christ as our savior. Even that Faith is a gift from God through the Holy Spirit.

The Bible is not a physics, chemistry, biology, geology, or astronomy textbook. It was not intended to be any of those. Anyone who pretends to glean those topics from the Bible is guilty of heresy.

Tell me what that tells you about "out there". It seems totally irrelevant to the discussion. Flesh out its relevancy for me.
