About the author.

Steve Wells is the creator of The Skeptic's Annotated Bible / Quran / Book of Mormon (http://skepticsannotatedbible.com ) and is the author of the blog, Dwindling in Unbelief (http://dwindlinginunbelief.blogspot.com). He has spent way too much time (the last 20 years) a.n.a.lyzing the three worst books ever written.

Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician and astronomer, who is best known as a proponent of the infinity of the universe. His cosmological theories went beyond the Copernican model in identifying the sun as just one of an infinite number of independently moving heavenly bodies, with stars being similar in nature to the sun. He was burned at the stake February 17, 1600 after the Roman Inquisition found him guilty of heresy, and is, therefore, rightfully regarded as a martyr for science and free thought.
