The flaw with that point is nobody can cite any document provably written by "our Creator" wherein she/he/it delineates what, if any, rights we have been endowed with by her/him/it.
The only "right" that demonstrably exists in nature is that of might. Living beings have the "right" to do, that which they have the power to do.
