Here are his own words: “all men are created equal, that each of us are endowed with certain inalienable rights.” He doesn’t say who endowed us.

Missing the trees for the forest, here.

"UNalienable", (that which is not subject to the rules or manipulations of humans), was the word the Founders used. not "in"alienable.

“inalienable” - no one can take them from you.
“unalienable” - they are so inherent that you can’t even give them away if you wanted to.
