Why doesn’t the Torah ever mention dinosaurs or other prehistoric creatures? Does this mean that according to the Torah there were no dinosaurs? Is this a sign that the Bible doesn't match up with history and science?

In this episode, Rabbi Fohrman provides a profound, yet amazingly simple answer to the question of how to reconcile Torah and science. He argues that if we’re asking about the absence of dinosaurs, then we’re actually misunderstanding something fundamental about the nature of what the Torah is – and what it isn’t. 

Join Rabbi Fohrman as he works to make sense out of several puzzling things about the Torah.
