, 05:52, November 4, 2008→Jupiter moons: Geocentrism certainly IS giving bodies co-ordinates relative to Earth.
::: Astronomers are included in the category of "humans generally". I'm not proposing to write anything. But I will ask why you think the wording should stay the way it was. You've asked Samd to justify his edits, but I see no better case for leaving the wording the way it was. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 21:15, 3 November 2008 (EST)

:::: I don't agree with Samd's edits. Geocentrism certainly is not giving bodies co-ordinates relative to Earth. That is the way it has always been done. Whether people like Ptolemy had a philosophical belief about the center of the universe would require some additional research. That should be documented before putting it into the article, because I don't think that it is true. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 22:00, 3 November 2008 (EST)

::::: It was already clear that you didn't agree with his edits; that wasn't the question. You say that Geocentricism is not giving bodies co-ordinates relative to Earth, but that is what the article said it is before Samd changed it. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.

:::::: My typo. I meant to say, Geocentrism certainly IS giving bodies co-ordinates relative to Earth. I changed my comment above. Sorry about the confusion. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 00:52, 4 November 2008 (EST)
