In this episode I interact with the question of why we don't hear of dinosaurs in the revealed scriptures; specifically the vedic scriptures (shastra). I talk about what is shastra exactly; is it fixed and unchanging or is it living and constantly being retold in ever-fresh ways? I also address the general point of needing shastra to match up with empirical evidences, how much of that should we expect, and whether or not it would actually be a good thing for revealed scriptures to match up exactly.
