"Actually, the DofI cites a "Creator", not God. So whether you believe that man was greated by nature or by a supernatural being, you're covered."

Technically, the word, 'creator,' if capitalized (as it is spelled in the DofI) is defined as, "God, the Supreme Being." (Websters, 20th Century Dictionary, unabridged).

"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."

Apparently the founders all agreed that the unalienable rights of mankind were endowed by God, the Supreme Being.

I think that I would rather have my rights coming from God than a clashing of atoms.

Unfortunately you didn't look into Websters 18th Century Dictionary.

As you will note, lots of Nouns are capitalized in the DOI.

Could you enlighten us about the difference between laws and Laws, or happiness and Happiness??
