no
just because we live on earth doesn't make it that important to be the centre of everything

Our planet is not the center of anything but an outrageous religion-fueled ego.
Our sun isn't even the center... The Earth moves around the Sun that moves around the center of our galaxy, that moves towards a great attractor, which sucks all the mass in our section of the universe towards it. Its a big cluster of galaxy clusters. But the great attractor is not even the center of the universe. Rather, there is no 'center' geometrically to the universe. Its like watching a bunch of ants on the surface of a apple and asking which ant is surrounded by the most ants.
Our universe is a sloppy collection of a bunch of helium, with a little bit of hard matter that we are all made of. We are merely the surviving version of previous life-forms, with our physical flaws and all.
Why would we expect we are special? Our bodies are certainly not that ingeniously designed. Hell, we don't even need our appendix anymore! Nor do we need both kidneys. Our redundant design is only evidence that our bodies are the product of many more flawed designs where you did not have any redundant organs to kick in if one fails. A god would have surely designed a better lifeform.
Its a bit like how humans design space probes, with backup systems and circuitry that might never actually be used. If we were really advanced, we would not need to design spacecraft with backup systems. Our primary systems would simply be superior and 100% reliable.

I don't understand your question. Are you asking if the earth was created before anything else and then the entire universe was "built" around it? For what? The universe (which means everything that is) was created (pick your creation story) and then stars and galaxies were formed and then planets and satellites of planets were formed.

No, the Earth is simply a byproduct of the Universe's creation. Just another component, like Mars or Saturn is

Nope, we are just a smudge in one of the backwater arms at the edge of an insignificant galaxy stuck in an out of the way locker within the vast main room of the Grand Central universe.

The universe is about 13.7 billion years old. The sun and the earth are oniy 4.57 billion years old i.e. we are both Johnny-come-latelys in comparison.

Its a therie, but scientists say therewas a HUGE planet one millions of trillians of years ago. And for whatever reason the planet exploded and from being pelted with asstroids so much, thats why the Earth is round.
So the answer is no

No....the sun is the center. The earth just aligned in the place that supports life as we know it. Nothing circles the earth but a dead moon,
