Is the bicycle an improvement on God's design?

OK, let's change the subject... ;)

I think the bike is an improvement on God's design. Before man
depended on the beasts to get around. Even Jesus rode a donkey.
Imagine what Jesus would have done if he had a bike!

Which proves that mankind can better itself without help from above.

Anything that's not used gets rusted. A good parable for Americans who
got so many bikes, and yet can't use them.

Tell me what did. Humans didn't come out of monkeys? Well, we are only
cousins, but they are in our family tree.

Only if it hasn't been properly cured & used first.

It's only because I have too much crap in my garage to reach them easily.

OK, I've got a final question before I decide who's smarter, God or
Man...

Who invented the wheel?

We must praise whoever made the invention of the bicycle possible. ;)

You sound too rational to read the Bible, but they lion and the sheep
dwell in a mythical place called...

Hicks’s Peaceable Kingdom

His symbols of the animals were joined to a quotation of Isaiah's

down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling
together; and a little child shall lead them."
