Abberation, parallax, and other observations are not used to show that there is no relative frame of rest for the Earth. They're used to show that there is no absolute frame of rest for the Earth.

There's a huge difference in saying that only the g/Geocentric frame is valid and all frames are valid.


Edited because I'm incapable of conveying meaning today.
