Why are Geography and Earth Sciences & Geology two different categories?

dont ever ever evr suggest that earth science is a part of geography!Earth science is different, we (im a geologist) deal with a lot of complex earth process, the internal processes and thier effect on the surface. Geography is a very broad subject working on Human influences (human geography) and then surface works (physical geography)Geography, especially human works are normally classified as an "art" in universities, by the pure definition, geology and earth sciences are a science. a science can never be part of, even a slight, art catagoryPlus Geographers and Earth scientists dont like each other, mainly because Earth scientists are superior and geographers dont like that fact.another point is Earth scientists can make and read maps, Geographers cant (never trust a geographer for directions, im not being funny here, its true)
