:::Yes, of course I want to mention this topics, they are hardly ''peripheral''! An article on the ''Geocentric'' ''''theory'''' should mention all of them. If you want to omit them (as the name of Galileo in this present version), you should write an article on ''Geocentric'' ''''coordinates''''.
BTW, at the moment, half of the article are Bible quotes - I can't imagine something more peripheral. --[[User:BRichtigen|BRichtigen]] 08:11, 4 November 2008 (EST)
I'm a little confused about what this discussion is about. Modern astronomy clearly takes an earth-centered view when describing familiar phenomena such as [[sunrise]] and [[sunset]] (which we know are caused by the earth's rotation - not by a sun god ascending and descending the sky in a fiery chariot; and the "motion" of the sun against the background of the "fixed stars" is explained by the earth's annual revolution around the (relatively) immobile sun.
