There is nothing philosophical about the gravitational force of attraction between the mass of the Sun and the mass of the Earth.

There is nothing philosophical about the orbital acceleration that this force causes upon the Earth.

There is no known force that could move the MASSIVE Sun around the tiny Earth, while leaving the Earth motionless.

The “rest of the universe” could not produce a gravitational force that would move the Sun around the Earth and leave the Earth motionless. The physics just doesn't work. F=m*a.

Einstein was NOT a Geocentrist, no matter how many times you throw out his name in support of your asinine model.

As explained previously, the philosophy is in your decision to ignore the gravity of the rest of the universe and your focus on the earth-sun CG. Your statements simply demonstrate that you don't understand the issue, the model or the physics.

"The “rest of the universe” could not produce a gravitational force that would move the Sun around the Earth and leave the Earth motionless. The physics just doesn't work. F=m*a."

This is what you don't understand, yet Einstein, Born, Hoyle and Ellis did, hence their statements that I have posted.

"Einstein was NOT a Geocentrist, no matter how many times you throw out his name in support of your asinine model."

Again, I never said Einstein was a geocentrist. Your assertion that the geocentric model is asinine is purely philosophical. As I have posted many times, Einstein, Born, Hoyle and Ellis all recognize the scientific equivalence of geocentrism and geokineticism under GR. Your philosophical opinion is just that, your opinion.
