Talk:Geocentric theory (view source)

Geocentric theory is the theory that the sun goes around the earth, '''but it also means the moon and all the other planets go around the earth also'''. The Bible only refer to the sun and earth, so can decide nothing about this other aspect of geocentric theory. Because of what is said above about how you can set coordinate systems having sun going around earth or vice-versa, but you can't do that to change what everything else orbits around, we have to conclude The Bible is neutral on which is the correct theory.--[[User:TruthOfChrist|TruthOfChrist]] 13:21, 16 October 2008 (EDT)

==Jupiter moons==
I don't agree with the latest edits by Samd. Why do the moons of Jupiter necessarily cause a problem for geocentric theory? Why is it better to say, "the assumption that Earth lies at its center"? Maybe it was an assumption, or maybe not. Either way it could be geocentric theory. I am not sure it is even known why Ptolemy put the Earth at the center. What flaws were found in the 1500s?
