Sorry Mathew, I don't think you have answered Aiden. The theory of gravity fully explains both how and why the Earth rotates around the Sun. It enables the past and future behaviour of the two bodies to be predicted to a very high degree of accuracy. It is useful. You can apply the insight from this to explore other aspects of the Universe.
When the theory of gravity was first formulated we made a great leap forward in our understanding of the world. The theory that it was all made by a being called God explains nothing.
