We can observe nearby stars moving forward and back against the background of distant stars (parallax). Scientific analysis coupled with observations show that the Earth is held in its orbit by the gravitational force of the Sun which is far more massive than the Earth.

You can't. It is all a matter of frame of reference. If you accept the frame of reference of a sun based system then gravity follows an inverse square law very very exactly. If you chose an Earth centered frame of reference then gravity follows a system of epicycles and not very well.

If you accept the fact that the simplest system is probably the right one, then you are a sun-centered person.
