just a sec. First, let's define the plane of the ecliptic. The planets around our sun have orbits that are in roughly the same plane.
What the Planck observations seem to show is that there are features of the observable universe that are slightly different in parts of the sky above the plane of the ecliptic than below it. This doesn't say that the earth is at the center of anything. There's no reason to think that our solar system is the only one with the same plane of the ecliptic.
There have also been analyses that suggest that the observation many be an error. It's too soon to be sure.
Finally, why would having the earth central to the universe prove the existence of God?
See Axis of evil (cosmology) - Wikipedia. In particular, note that it's not yet clear whether the differences are significant.
