[Given that most dinosaurs weren't giants, standing about as tall as a man or less, there would be good reasons to hunt them with spears. In fact, even with the giants, a hadrosaur would feed a village. Plenty good enough as a reason to hunt them with spears, bows or anything else.
So, why don't we see spear points in hadrosaurs?]
hadrosaurs aren't actually that small..(I don't think)....and even so, it would be much easier, I would guess, to kill mammals than it would be to kill a dinosaur -- better tasting too.

As they love to say to people who believe in evolution, "How would you know? Were you there?"
Hadrosaurs might've been some good eatin', just like gator! Too bad us humans hadn't evolved yet so one of us could find out.
it would be much easier, I would guess, to kill mammals than it would be to kill a dinosaur -- better tasting too.
And you base your guess on... ?
"hadrosaurs aren't actually that small..(I don't think)...."
What, you can't master that complex beast known as Google and find out how big a hadrosaur is?
"and even so, it would be much easier, I would guess, to kill mammals than it would be to kill a dinosaur -- better tasting too."
Yes. Better to go after a saber tooth cat or a woolly mammoth than kill off some of the smaller herbivorous dinosaurs that would be likely easier to kill.
Makes perfect sense.
"I don't think"
Yup you got that right.
Hadrosaur grew to about 25 feet. They were completely impervious to the spears and arrows of men who only came along about 65 million years after they were extinct. Primitive man (much like us) had problems shooting arrows back through time. According to a recent interview with a T.Rex, hadrosaurs apparently taste like chicken. In those days (much like now) everything tasted like chicken,,, except chicken, since they had another 65 million years before they appeared. Is this making sense? No, but neither did stuporsport.
It would be much easier to kill a mammal of 70M years ago than a dinosaur of that era because the mammals of that era were tiny. It would be quite difficult for a HUMAN to do such killing as there were NO HUMANS ON EARTH AT THAT TIME.
You have no way of knowing the comparative taste of dinosaur vs mammal. Now crawl back under your rock and STFU.

I don't think they are as small as you think they are...
Also... Because they "taste bad" is seldom a reason. See they are related to birds... We eat birds. Vegetarian Hadrosaurs would have been high on our list to kill.
And in any case why are there no PREDATORS with spear points. Cause we kill them for a different reason. Either valour or to stop them hunting us. And the corollary, why are there no human remains with dinosaur based wounds.
My friend, if you would just take a moment to listen to me.
It is all very well cocooning yourself in your nice, comfortable and safe fantasy world. But, sooner or later, if you don't snap out of it, you'll start to believe it's all true and start writing, and, I dare say, talking utter drivel.
Now, come on, shape up to reality, stop being lazy, every thing you need is easily and readily available to you. You don't want people to think your a moron do you?
Carry on as you are and you'll end up like that silly old David J. Stewart. I don't think you'd like that now, would you?
The mammals that evolved into existence after the dinosaurs went extinct?
are you new to this insanity? I'll explain, you see since god would be sadistic as hell to leave all the prehistoric animals to drown *sabertooths, dinos, those giant spiders that couldnt breath in todays atmosphere...* and would still have to explain away the swimmers, they got on the boat with all the modern ones. Now aside from multiplying the needed space by god knows how much this also means that Sauropods and Raptors where somehow outcompeted by cows and wolves and went extinct sometime in recorded history, without a single egyptian recording the giant fucking lizards and insects that would have been a daily sight for atleast decades. The explanations for how this came to be range from goddidit to ignoring your question to, I shit you not, that T-rex was a vegetarian and scientists got it all wrong. *Like usual!*
standing about as tall as a man or less, there would be good reasons to hunt them with spears.
You ever see fossils of some of those dinosaurs are as tall as you or me? They'll fuck you up and tear you a new one in three different places.
A lot of hadrosaurs were in the 3-4 ton range, like big rhinos or Asian elephants. Unlike those animals, they had no horns or tusks.
And hadrosaurs taste like chocolate. Tyrannosaurs, on the other hand, are cherry-flavored. Trufax.
A technical point but wackadoodle wrote
those giant spiders that couldnt breath in todays atmosphere
Megarachne has been now shown to be in fact a sea-scorpion. Without that fossil all the evidence for giant spiders ever having existed disappears. See, science learns from its mistakes ;-)
Wouldn't it be hard to kill something, that was extinct more than 60 milions before spears was invented, with a spear?
The absence of spear wounds in any dinosaur is a strong evidence of there being no humans nor spears when the dinosaurs lived.
"I don't think... I would guess."
And that, Sparky, is why everything you say is worthless drivel.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
