Philip,

We observe, from a geocentric perspective, the Sun travel around a path that corresponds to a particular route through the background stars. This is the ecliptic. The ecliptic plane exists in both systems, being virtually stationary in the heliocentric case and rotating with the stars in the geocentric case.

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

"An Earth system model wherein the sun goes around the Earth following the ecliptic path that is inseparable from the heliocentric model is not required at all in the Geocentrism model... Using the 'solar system' heliocentricity path of orbit on a Geocentrism model doesn't work because that path is not actually part of the Geocentrism model."    Marshall Hall

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