Incorrect. They believed in God, they believed God created men equally and with rights. They didn't have to say "God told me to do this personally" in order to believe that our rights came from God. It can be proven that God inspired these as the Creator is mentioned specifically as the one who makes men equal and gives us our rights.
exactly. it was this critical sourcing that made these rights 'inalienable'. what God has given you, no man may take away. what man has given you he can take away just as easily. to say that our rights come from man is to say that we don't really have rights at all, we have preferences and temporary liberties.
