Just because MAN says they are inalienable and endowed by the creator does not make it true. Prove the creator did so.
Carrying this crap even further, if endowed by the creator, why doesn't all of mankind enjoy these same rights? Certainly something given by the creator can not be denied by mortal man.

You are right, it doesn't prove it is true. But man is the one saying that men are not and can not bestow these inalienable rights.
Something endowed by the Creator should not be denied by man, you got the general premise correct.
As far as proving the Creator did so . . . . . old fallback argument. Can you prove a Creator didn't? Just as lame.
Call them something else if you want, or else change the definition of inalienable, but as long as they are called
inalienable rights they aren't rights granted to us by man made laws.
