It was quite easy....once they realized the one weakness of the almighty dinosaur.
Through much experimentation and thousands of lost lives, ancient scientists discovered the one thing that the dinos simply couldn't resist was famous amos chocolate chip cookies.
Once they discovered this production in the famous amos factory skyrocketed, and they were used by humans to tame the dinosaurs so they could coexist.
Unfortunately, the delectable cookies were also a fatal treat. The chocolate chip cookies slowly poisoned their unique dinosaur bloodstream, until they died out and became extinct altogether.
Famous amos cookies are still available today, but their original use as dino-treats is relatively unknown in modern history.

As for how they rode them, I would assume that only the herbivorous variety was ridden. One theory as to how this could be accomplished would be for the primitive humans to quietly perch upon tree tops and jump onto slow-moving dinosaurs as they passed by.

According to the Bible, land animals were created on the 6th day. So if you believe such tales, humans coexisted with dinosaurs. It is therefore not impossible that some human would want to ride them.

Here is what really happened. While the men were out hunting the women of the tribe went into the jungle and collected dinosaur eggs. They took them back to the caves and incubated them. When the dinosaurs hatched they followed the women around thinking that they were their respective mothers. This is scientifically known as imprinting and has been demonstrated particularly well in ducks and geese. Dinosaurs are related to birds. So, when the dinosaurs grew up they were tame and the men could ride them.
Notice that the woman with the ducklings is wearing the same dress as the woman with the dinosaur in another answer. Real cave women did not wear conservative dresses, which had not been invented.

How did they catch dinosaurs?
I don't think they could have done it the same as horses because:
1) Dinosaurs are much bigger.
2) Horses are much tamer.
So how did they do it? Also, how did they ride them?
Also, someone answered it was Famous Amos cookies which I think they were kidding and could not be right because Amos wasn't alive but I have been thinking that it really probably was peanut butter cookies because my pet lizard really, really loved them.
So I am wondering what happened to his answer because even though it was dumb to say Famous Amos I think he is right it was cookies??

That's a picture from the science/fact-phobic Creation Museum, a joke to all but the people so religiously-driven that they are willing to ignore the truth in favor of taking a story from a book written around the time when people didn't know where the sun went at night, literally.

The Pythagorean Theorem was DERIVED on the spot, and we can derive and prove it presently any time we want. That was contemporary.
But you can't compare that to ancient people telling the story of alleged events no one was around for, events which not only CAN'T be 'derived' or proven today, but which today are in fact directly contradicted by just about every single piece of knowledge we have in relevant areas.

My point still stands -- namely, that trying to knock ideas on the sole basis that they are old is a weak criticism.
"http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/gen/abs_list.html"
It's good that you took a different approach by rebutting with that link. But just FYI, even the first entry on the link seems flawed.
Your link says, "he didn't make the light producing objects (the sun and the stars) until the fourth day"; however, I'm pretty sure even the most atheist scientist would agree that things other than stars generated light (even a few things that pre-dated stars like ...... the Big Bang).

ok I'm not sure what you are trying to say but there are no trolls (trolls aren't real). plus he said chocolate chip.
oh! maybe you mean Tollhouse Cookies. No, same thing as the first answer because even though those are probably older than Famous Amos they did not have Tolls then because there were no cars.

Believing that humans and dinosaurs co-existed does not necessarily mean that humans "caught" dinosaurs. As for how they rode them, I would assume that only the herbivorous variety was ridden.

That you answered a question that has a fallacious premise is reason enough for me to vote it unhelpful. Perpetuation of such invalid concepts as humans riding dinosaurs isn't going to help anyone do anything. I did not vote this one unhelpful, personally, but I would have if 4 people hadn't already.
Of course, context matters.
For all I know this could be a silly question where I simply did not get the joke - one of the reasons I didn't just vote it unhelpful.

I don't get how it is any more fallacious than many of the other answers, yet mine is the only one that has been voted as unhelpful more times than helpful. I think that the real reason is that people have read my answer and assumed that it's something that I actually believe or that I am a creationist. Neither of which are true.

The idea of dinosaurs and humans living together is a silly thought, it didn't happen in my opinion, and cookies didn't come into the equation! There was millions of years between them, but if they did live together humans would have used a big hole in the ground covered with branches and leaves. I think.

I think the bible story goes like this: On one of his many journeys through the holy land, Jesus and his disciples came along a roaring brontosaurus. The disciples fled, but Jesus approached the giant beast and took a splinter out of his left front claw. After that the brontosaurus was his best friend and let him ride on his back. I don't know if I have al the facts right, like the left front claw, because it is a long time ago I saw the story in the bible, I'm a atheist now.

My guess would be one of three ways. 1) the use of poisen plant exctracts mixed and then hidden in a known food source 2) The use of terrain to trap the Dinosaurs. Example would be a deep ditch along a known travel route covered in sticks,logs and leaves. At the bottom of the ditch a series of sharp sticks and spears would be planted in an upright position. When the Dinosaur falls in they would impale themself on the spears. I think it is important to remember not all Dinasours were 3 stories tall, many were much smaller in size and would be a more likley target. I also envision capturing a small animal and using it to atract the Dinosaur to the spear pit. Again utilizing a known travel route of the species.3) would be a bow and arrow set up that would release a poisen tipped arrow to a precise spot. The shot could be tripped by a Vine crossing a known travel route.

How would hurting the dinosaurs help them ride them? Impaling doesn't seem like it would lead to taming...

I think you should look at the question more closely -- his question addresses catching dinosaurs in a way that is similar to catching horses (with an added question about riding), which doesn't seem like a question aimed at how to make a brontosaurus burger. ;)

This is a valid question because nowhere in the Bible does it say that God put bones in the earth to make us wonder what they are there for if they never existed in the first place; and also we should be wondering why God, who loves us, would want to play such mean mind games with us. According to the Bible, land animals were created on the 6th day. So if you believe such tales, humans coexisted with dinosaurs. It is therefore not impossible that some human would want to ride them.

Some of these answers have lost track of the original question; which amounts to how to catch a dinosaur in order to ride it. As the questioner points out, horses are hard enough and they are much smaller and perhaps tamer. Catching in the sense of pits or cliffs would kill or cripple the dinosaur not tame it. Jumping onto a passing dinosaur from a tree sounds pretty fatal. Imaging trying that even with a wild elephant or hippo. Here is what really happened. While the men were out hunting the women of the tribe went into the jungle and collected dinosaur eggs. They took them back to the caves and incubated them. When the dinosaurs hatched they followed the women around thinking that they were their respective mothers. This is scientifically known as imprinting and has been demonstrated particularly well in ducks and geese. Dinosaurs are related to birds. So, when the dinosaurs grew up they were tame and the men could ride them.

1) They did not have fancy packaging like that back then.
2) They did not know who Amos was (BECAUSE HE WAS NOT ALIVE YET).
Also, I think its much more likely they used peanut butter cookies because I had a pet lizard and he liked peanut butter a lot better than chocolate. A LOT.
So PLEASE take my question seriously this is not a joke.
To make up for my mistake, heres a brief tidbit by cookie historian Simian Mabunga on the cookies;
"Once their dino-taming abilities were discovered people traveled from far and wide to get their hand on Amos's chocolate chip cookies. They began to be referred to as "Amos's famous, dinosaur-taming, secret recipe cookies, which are also just as delightful when consumed by humans."
Unfortunately it's full title didn't fit on the hollowed out logs then used to package the cookies, plus it was a pain in the ass chiseling out all those words, so it was shortened to "Famous Amos"
I hope this insight will make up for my former mistake.
