>The earth makes a full rotation every 24 hours, therefore it will face the same direction at 12:00pm no matter where it is in it's revolution around the sun.

Funny thing is that we do observe this if we use SIDEREAL TIME which is the EXACT time it takes for the Earth to do a full rotation. You're confusing SIDEREAL TIME with SOLAR TIME. In SOLAR TIME the Earth makes one rotation in about 23 hours and 56 minutes while in SIDEREAL TIME it makes a full rotation in 24 hours.
