Was Galileo member of the iluminatti?

Answer 1

No. Galileo was a Christian who believed the world was a globe rather than a flat surface. He was supported by the Jesuit order of the Roman Catholic church. The more common belief was that if you sailed too far you would fall off of the earth. The earth was considered a flat plain rather than a round sphere. Galileo went against the grain of common thinking! This common misconception was also very prevalent within the medieval church. The Bible does not tell us that the world was flat but this was an interpretation that most people accepted. Galileo was persecuted for his radical thinking! The Bible refers to the "circle of the earth" and states that there was a great dome above it prior to the deluge that covered the face of the planet. The waters above the earth may have collapsed and changed the entire atmosphere. Only Noah and his family were saved from this destruction. The Illuminati are in stark contrast to the traditions of the church. They are a secret society which may or may not exist in the modern world. Galileo challenged the prevailing thought within the church but he was not against the teachings of scripture. Science will add to our understanding of the scriptures but it does not contradict the basic tenants of our faith. It is possible to follow the true orthodox teachings of the Bible and still challenge the commonly accepted tenants of modern science. The Illuminati, on the other hand, may be a system of thought that actually challenges the authority of the scripture. It is an alternative solution to man's imperfection and the forces that sustain continual world chaos. It is an attempt to replace the Judeo-Christian experience in order to bring about a new world order. For this one reason, some people might assume that Galileo was also a member of this secret society. The original response to this question was a simple "no". I find no reason for us to disagree although, of course, such matters are supposed to be a secret!
