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.
All of mankind do have the same rights. We have those rights by nature of being man. However, not all mankind has a constitution who's sole purpose is to protect those rights.
