Galileo Galilei Personal Life

Dava Sobel's book Galileo's Daughter contains a large number of letters sent to Galileo by his daughter, and contains much information about his personal life. Highly recommended!

Galileo's father, Vincenzo Galilei, was one of the most distinguished Italian musicians of the 16th century.

History tells us that there has many terrible things done by men in the name of Jesus. However we must ask ourselves if these things that were done were actually God's will. To be honest most of these things were motivated by the twisted hearts of men and their actions actually broke the heart of the God the claimed to be serving. Galileo may very well have been wronged by the church but what would be the point of apologizing to a man who has been dead for over three hundred years? Can any healing come from doing this? I do not think so but if you need an apologized let me be the the first say that i am sorry that the church has done many things in the past have hurt people. On behave of the body of Christ I ask that you might forgive us. The church is filled with men and men fail, fall short, and unfortunatley hurt people but the God that we serve never does these things. He loves all people with a perfectly love that my mere words are insufficent to explain. Jesus loves you. Before I close I want to know if you have ever heard of the anthropic principle. To be fair to the ancient church scientists today have ever inlcreasingly grabbed onto this anthropic principle. This principle simply points out that not only the earth but the entire universe seems to be crafted with sustaining of life on earth as its purpose. So in a way earth seems to be the center of the universe. Praise Jesus.

Galileo was born in Pisa (then part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany), the first of six children of Vincenzo Galilei, a famous lutenist and music theorist. Although as a young man he seriously considered the priesthood, at his father's urging he enrolled for a medical degree at the University of Pisa. He did not complete this degree, but instead studied mathematics, in 1589 being appointed to the chair of mathematics in Pisa. In 1591 his father died, and he was entrusted with the care of his younger brother Michelagnolo. In 1592 he moved to the University of Padua, teaching geometry, mechanics, and astronomy until 1610. During this period Galileo made significant discoveries in both pure science (e.g., kinematics of motion, and astronomy) and applied science (e.g., strength of materials, improvement of the telescope). His multiple interests included the study of astrology, which in premodern disciplinary practice was seen as correlated to the studies of mathematics and astronomy (see Astrology and astronomy).[1]

Although a devout Roman Catholic, Galileo fathered three children out of wedlock with Marina Gamba. They had two daughters (Virginia in 1600 and Livia in 1601) and one son (Vincenzio, in 1606).
