zahavsdad, I wonder if the whole dinosaur debate came from Evangelical Xians who learn the “Old Testament” with false commentaries or none at all, or who put their hearts into it without any learning. It’s embarrassing to see rabbanim (or rabbinical-looking people) occasionally get sucked into the same patterns of defensiveness and truculence. R. Shimshon Rafael Hirsch offers some very good tools to deal with this, chiefly: we’re here to master Hashem’s world and to find Him in all its aspects, including and specifically the sciences.
