::: Even stranger is that it's only the non-American spelling. "Vandalize" is allowed! [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 09:30, 3 November 2008 (EST)

: BRichigen, I question all 4 of your points. Can you cite any sources? Where does Ptolemy explain why he put the earth in the center? In the Almagest or elsewhere? Where does Ptolemy make the distinction in point 2? Why do you say that they didn't know the concept of coordinates? Do you mean that Ptolemy didn't understand coordinates? I don't see why an earth-centered view is more suitable to monotheism than an sun-centered view. Do you have any evidence that ancient astronomers had such an opinion?
