No, Annuit coeptis is not announcing conception.
Annuit cœptis (in Anglicized Latin pronounced /ˈænjuːɪt ˈsɛptɨs/) is one of two mottos (the other being Novus ordo seclorum) on the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States. Taken from the Latin words annuo (nod, approve) and cœpi (begin, undertake), is literally translated as "He approves (or has approved) [our] undertakings".
In 1782, Congress appointed a design artist, William Barton of Philadelphia, to bring a proposal for the national seal.[1] For the reverse, Barton suggested a thirteen layered pyramid underneath the Eye of Providence. The motto which Barton chose to accompany the design was, Deo Favente Perennis, "Enduring by the Favor of God".

Barton explained that the motto alluded to the Eye of Providence: "Deo favente which alludes to the Eye in the Arms, meant for the Eye of Providence."[2] For Barton, Deus (God) and The Eye of Providence were the same entity.
Hence, the motto and the Eye of Providence both alluded to the same reality. The Eye of Providence was commonly understood as a symbol for God and destiny. Hence, Annuit Cœptis is translated by the U.S. State Department, The U.S. Mint,[4] and the U.S. Treasury[5] as "He (God) has favored our undertakings." (brackets in original).[6]
Annuit cœptis and the other motto on the reverse of the Great Seal, Novus ordo seclorum, can both be traced to lines by the Roman poet Virgil.
E pluribus unum, Latin for "Out of Many, One," is a motto requested by Pierre-Eugène Du Simitier (originally Pierre-Eugène Ducimetière) and found in 1776 on the Seal of the United States, along with Annuit cœptis and Novus ordo seclorum, and adopted by an Act of Congress in 1782. The phrase originally came from Moretum, a poem attributed to Virgil but with the actual author unknown, on the subject of a cheese, garlic and herb recipe. In the poem text, color est e pluribus unus describes the blending of colors into one.
Originally suggesting that out of many colonies or states emerge a single nation, it has come to suggest that out of many peoples, races, and ancestries has emerged a single people and nation – illustrating the concept of the melting pot.[3]
And yes, despite what some would prefer, we are a melting pot.
As for enlightenment- enlightenment means to shed light on. Remember Jesus saying "You are the light of the world"? You may prefer intelligence to have to do with the 'devil', but I don't. Why someone decided wisdom and intelligence is of the devil has always mystified me.
As for the 13 numbers- Well, the colonies were originally were 13. Btw, in the Bible the number 13th was considered Holy. That's why Jesus had 12 apostles. 12 Apostles+ Jesus=13. That's when one left they had to find another pronto.
So the numbers of the power of God is evil? How does this work? Who decided this?
Please, please, even if you ignore the obvious play on numbers that Stillwater described, please tell me where does it say that 1776 is the date the Illuminati formed, considering that they were a concept of the Middle Ages, a backlash against the tyranny of the Church that allowed no free thinking whatsoever?
And why is 'returning to heavenly state' evil? Whether it's true or not that it's what the number represents....
