Why would that matter if he gave us rights?So if it turns out the Sumerians were right and the Creator is an alien scientist who died a long time ago?The Creator, who ever that is.

IMO, we have rights simply because we say we do.
Pretty much.And what if we say we don't. do our rights magically disappear if a majority of people say they do?
It's an interesting fiction that people cling to, although the concept is philosophical swiss cheese.
Rights come from God. They can't come from anywhere else.

I'll take that as a 'no'. You realize, of course, that means you have no rights unless you can prove your particular god exists.
There are no rights. Rights are something that cannot be taken away by others. Otherwise they're privileges.

If rights come from God do you have to believe in Him to have rights, or does He give them to you anyway. In other words, if they are right about this do you have rights since you are clearly mocking their God? If you were intelligent that possibility would worry you more than the possibility that they are wrong and that they do not have rights. The simple fact is they do have rights, so your argument is void regardless of their ability to prove that God exists.
