Because it's easier to say and write before or after Galileo (BG or AG) than before or after Galileo proved the solar system was heliocentric (BGPTSSWH).

Uuuumm... How about EC and SC for Earth-Centered and Sun-Centered? Or BH and AH Before Heliocentricity and After Heliocentricity?

It does rather tickle me to think that we could be living in the year 383 AGPTSSWH though or even 472 ACPTTSSWH (After Copernicus Proposed that the solar system was heliocentric) Big Grin
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
