While you're pondering irrelevancies, here're a few more in the same inane
vein: The earth was "invented" before mankind showed up. Do we really
have a right to be here?

Air existed before my bicycle's tires were manufactured. Do I really have
a right to trap air in my tires?

My home was built before I moved in. Do I really have a right to be here?

Banning cars would make more sense if your premise were true but you are
confusing, "The general routes were established before cars were invented." and
"The roads were built before cars were invented.". Your premise is false. Try
to name just *one* street or road built prior to about 1914 and is still in use
that hasn't been totally rebuilt since then.
