Well, if you had actually visited this web page, you would have found the answer!

You are welcome to your idea that rotation around Polaris has a greater relevance than rotation to our central star and the intricate principles which extract the 24 hour weekday as an average and then neatly transferred to rotation as a constant via the Lat/Long system as a rate of 15 degrees per hour. I can safely leave you and the theorists to your own devices and concerns as I have seen no interest in coming to terms with the origins of RA/Dec modelling.

The tragedy for you is that I recognize the calendar convenience of a clockwork solar system where there is no indication as to what is moving around what but is useful for predictions. It is useless for modelling and the contemporary tools like computers which can make observations easy to grasp and especially for cause and effect. Unfortunately you can't associate one 24 hour weekday with one rotation of the planet and all its daily effects on your own body clock -
