No, an origin for co-ordinates need not be a centre,
and elliptical orbits have two foci, not a centre,
(unless the foci coincide, producing a circle), for example:
| O
-------
|
The eliptical orbit "O" can be described by any set
of points (x,y) in the Cartesian plane satisfying an equation of the form:

where a and b are any positive real numbers.
As this approximates the orbit of the Earth around Sol
Earth cannot be the centre of the local Solar system,
or of any surrounding meta structure.

If you are choosing an arbitrary origin, then any point will do,
but it's not the centre, and the rest of this is a tautology,
based on a fallacy;

So you will be apologising to the Church on Galileo's behalf! B^D
Anthropomorphism does not make Earth the Centre of the Universe,
That space appears to be occupied by your ego! B^D

No, merely as an arbitrary reference point.
It would be absurd to speak of moving toward the CENTRE of our solar
system while transiting from Mercury to Earth! B^p
You would merely be moving toward an arbitrary, and moving, reference point.
As soon as we move to another Galaxy we would adopt another local
reference point, and the origin changes, ..if we find another
intelligence there, the change could be permanent.

The one who claimed the Earth was the Centre of the Universe,
when it orbits around Sol.
