Quote from: Francesco SiziThere are seven windows in the head, two nostrils, two ears, two eyes and a mouth; so in the heavens there are two favorable stars, two unpropitious, two luminaries, and Mercury alone undecided and indifferent. From which and many other similar phenomena of nature such as the seven metals, etc., which it were tedious to enumerate, we gather that the number of planets is necessarily seven.... Besides, the Jews and other ancient nations, as well modern Europeans, have adopted the division of the week into seven days, and have named from them the seven planets; now if we increase the number of planets, the whole system falls into the ground.... Moreover the satellites are invisible to the naked eye and therefore would be useless and therefore do not exist.
In response to Galileo's discovery of Jupiter's moons.

Yea verily, I doeth like taters.

Astrologer. Also one of the first people to decide it was bullshit. (he kept records of all his predictions and went back over them for accuracy).
