Bernie,

There is, by definition, no tilt of the World's 'axis' wrt the NCP. If there were, then we would have a different NCP. There is always a tilt of the World's 'axis' wrt the Sun. When the Sun is at the vernal or autumnal equinox, this 'tilt' is 90 degrees. That we geocentrists view the World as sitting 'upright' does not alter the fact that the ecliptic plane is just as much 'real' in the geocentric model as it is in the heliocentric model.

No Earth tilt with respect to The North Celestial Pole and the sun,
measured on either the autumnal or vernal equinox date.    bb

This is simply not true. In fact, it is primarily from a geocentric perspective that we get the concept of the ecliptic.

If the Earth has no tilt then aren't there 182 different "ecliptics"
in a 6 month period?   bb
 


No, Bernie, you (actually it is probably Marshall) are making out the ecliptic is in an arbitrary plane which is just one of an infiniite number of arbitrary planes. It is not. It is a definite plane simply because the Sun goes around a definite path with respect to the background stars.

Also, 'no tilt' is meaningless on its own. 'No tilt' with respect to what?
