"We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Where would objection lie if the Declaration held Jeffersons original phrase, "endowed by their nature" rather than by "their creator"?

That the unalienable rights are endowed by man's nature? Well, the objection would be that if man is the source of the rights, then man can remove these rights.

God gave us these rights; no mere man can ever remove them.
