How about the children of people God stated would be punished even up to the fourth generation? How about the children in Sodom and Gomorrah? How about all the people wiped out in the great flood in which Noah magically put all species of animal into a big boat?
If I did not believe these rights were assigned to us by someone higher, then I would not believe they were inherent human rights.
What I'm saying is that the idea of rights is not consistent with the Bible. Nor (afaik) did God ever state that there are inalienable rights that apply to all mankind. I'm curious where you got the idea from.
