Is the bike 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.

Kangaroos hopping are very efficient. I don't know how they compare to a
bike, but a kangaroo will beat a bike every time over naturally rough
ground.

Kangaroos are produced by evolution. That is why they are so efficient over
natural ground. Bikes are mainly designed for smooth man made surfaces
like roads and pedways.

Your proof?


> That is why they are so efficient

No, they are "efficient" because of the way they work, because of the way
natural laws have been exploited. It's not because of evolution.
Evolution is a process of construction of new forms. It is blind even
according to Darwinists evolution is a blind process.

Well, bikes evolve too.

Such seems to be the case...

The whole process was like this: the monkey walked first, then became
a man, then invented the bike, and then went for bananas on his
bike.

Right, and Darwin did not come up with the theory of evolution. He
came up with the idea that natural selection takes place because some
random mutations are beneficial in the particular environment.
Somehow, a mutation (or mutations) allowed certain kangaroos to jump
better than others and they escaped predators. Seems fairly
reasonable. That pouch for raising young is a bit hard to take though.

Not only that, the pouch exists on that weird creature that hangs
around my backyard, the oPossum. Odd beast that one is.

Bikes evolve also, but not through random mutation.

The natural world has many answers to the problems we face today.
There's even a science about it...

"Sociobiology is a neo-Darwinian synthesis of scientific disciplines
that attempts to explain social behavior in all species by considering
the evolutionary advantages the behaviors may have. It is often
considered a branch of biology and sociology, but also draws from
ethology, anthropology, evolution, zoology, archeology, population
genetics and other disciplines. Within the study of human societies,
sociobiology is closely related to the fields of human behavioral
ecology and evolutionary psychology.

Sociobiology investigates social behaviors, such as mating patterns,
territorial fights, pack hunting, and the hive society of social
insects."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociobiology

Don't you see the evolutionary advantages of riding a bike? I see
many.

(I'm using some metaphoric language here, just like the Christians use
Adam and Eve, just that the terminology is Teflon and cast iron.)

While Teflon wears out, cast iron is "forever," but you have to keep
"curing it"...

In other words, we should live under a permanent state of r-evolution,
making corrections along the way.

It's what made humans out of monkeys. The Christians' creation though
denies evolution both in the past and present. Proof of that is how
they stick to their SUVs in the face of oil crisis, while denying
space to the "smart" bicycles. If they studied life at the time of the
dinosaurs, they'd find out that's a recipe for disaster, which they
call "Armageddon." No more preaching for today.

That makes sense because the donkey is not very well thought out...

The bike is the product of intelligent design, the donkey was made
with little attention to comfort and speed.

I think it was a product of God wanting to finish creation in a few
days.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Oy, do you have a wrong number! They work the way they do because that is
the way they have evolved. What part of natural selection don't you get?

Here I've decided to stay off the roads. Waiting for the SUVs to go
the way of the dinosaurs.

They reject to evolve but the world is changing all around them...

GM to close four plants, may unload Hummer line

WILMINGTON, Delaware (Reuters) - General Motors Corp on Tuesday said
it was closing four truck plants and could sell its Hummer brand to
cut slow-selling trucks and SUVs from its lineup in response to higher
gasoline prices the automaker now sees as a permanent threat to its
business.
