• 1611: <strong>Galileo</strong> visits Rome. • His work is recognized and he becomes a member of the first scientific society, Academia dei Lincei. • He organizes astronomical observations with his telescope for the Jesuit monks in Rome. • Reaction: Why look through this imperfect instrument, once we know the truth from Aristotle and the Bible? (Cesare Cremonini, Paduan professor Giulio Libri, Florentian philosopher). 22
• God is perfect, and all of God’s creation is perfect. Man is imperfect, and therefore his inventions are imperfect. Why should we use an imperfect invention, like <strong>Galileo</strong>’s telescope, to see God’s perfect creation? Wouldn’t that corrupt God’s creation? • Where is the picture we see through the telescope? In the real world or inside the telescope? 23
