We have “rights endowed by our Creator.” I don’t understand why they have to change it to “natural human rights”.

Natural or Nature’s God or Creator were all interchangeably used, but I suspect that Deists influenced the confluence of Nature and God resulting in today’s “nature” without God.

The Founders believed that all men are endowed with rights by the Creator, but they also needed a long, brutal war against an imperial power to secure those rights. Rights are just a fantasy if there is not the will to fight and die for them.

"I don’t understand why they have to change it to “natural human rights”."

Natural rights is a term that comes from Locke and the other philosophers of the Enlightenment. Over the centuries it has been converted into the term we hear more often today "human rights". Which means the same thing, though leftist today want to include all kinds of things in it that were never meant to be. You don't have a right to other people's earnings in the form of food stamps for instance. Natural Human rights is sort of a combining of the two terms I guess.

They want to deny a Creator, lest they be subject thereto.
