The question I have today is, did Newton invent gravity?
Well, of course not. He observed what countless people before and after him knew, if something goes up it must go down and there is a natural law that causes this to occur.
Our rights as humans come from a similar law.
We did not invent them. We simply observed them, either in nature or through the revelation of God through his Word, and then, in certain places like America, we codified these rights into documents so we would not forget them.
Now we are in the age of rights, human rights. Everything is a right these days. Not just that which was revealed in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution, or codified in the Bill of Rights, but everything. Healthcare, school, wages, sports.
