Ultra-Orthodox rabbis in Israel want to withdraw the kosher certification of a dairy company that has begun using pictures of dinosaurs to promote its products because they contradict the biblical account of history, Reuter reports from Jerusalem. Religious Jews will not eat food without a kosher certificate. 'The dinosaur is portrayed . . . as an animal that is millions of years old, even though it is known that the world was created only 5,753 years ago,' Rabbi Zvi Gafner of the Agudat Israel party said.
