Well I already mentioned this in the "The world is NOT moving?" thread but anyway... some ultra-orthodox people believe that the sun goes round the earth, despite that not being said in the bible at all. There are references to the sun moving or standing still in the sky but most people (even most orthodox people) would assume that thats just poetic license. I'm not too sure how they justify it but its probably something along the lines of "this great rabbi said it was like that, so it must be true". Unfortunately these people tend to assume that anything a noted rabbi says is divine truth.
