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

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?
