So Calvin,how do you keep the Earth's rotational orientation pointing
in the same direction in space yet account for the apparent variation
in the position of the Sun everywhere but at the Equator and the
variation becomes extreme towards the poles.? ...

The sun certainly does vary in apparent position at the equator.
At midday on the equinoxes, the sun passes directly overhead
at the equator. But at midday on the solstices, the sun passes
23.4 degrees to the south on one, and 23.4 degrees to the north
on the other, a yearly variation of 46.8 degrees of latitude. How
can you not know this?
