NEW ATLANTIS edit
While there is no hard evidence that Bacon was a "member" or any Rosicrucian order, Bacon's book New Atlantis is chock full of Rosicrucian ideas and themes. One must remember that being found to be a Rosicrucian in circa 1600 could have gotten you executed. Whether or not he was a member of some Rosicrucian "lodge" is irrelevant, in any case. His writings are more than enough evidence that he was a fellow traveller of the Rosicrucians.
This article edit
The material in this article was moved from the main article on Bacon, per WP:Fringe and WP:NPOV because the assertions made are believed by a very small number of writers. It is arguable whether the material should be included in Wikipedia at all. --Straw Cat (talk) 19:10, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
It is well to remove this article from the main article about Bacon, so the historical informations don't get mixed with the theoretical. But it should be kept in Wikipedia, as an article about theories/opinions. Danillo Costa 13:58, 6 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danilloclm (talk • contribs)
Saint Germain conspiracy edit
There is a conspiracy theory which claims that Francis Bacon and count Saint Germain were the same person. I don't know much about this theory, but it seems to be part of the series of urban legends surrounding Bacon. [1] ADM (talk) 22:10, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
There is actually a good number of spiritual organizations believing/claiming so, such as Theosophical Society, Liberal Catholic Church, "I AM" Activity, Bridge of Freedom, Summit Lighthouse, AMORC, Philosophical Research Society and others. Danillo Costa 13:57, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
