CREATOR VS. DOT DOT DOT

Saw on the news the story of a school text book that had taken the liberty to rewrite the preamble to the Declaration of Independence. I'm not sure what gives them the right to do that, but this is what they changed:

THE ACTUAL WORDING

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

THE SECULAR HUMANIST REVISED VERSION

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed...with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I'm not sure who or what DOT DOT DOT is, but I'm not sure that we can count on him (or it) to see to the preservation of these rights. Far better to trust in the Creator of all things, than the DOT DOT DOT the secular humanists have created to take His place. Beyond that--they can delete the reference to Him from a school text book, that does not eliminate Him--"And there is no creature bidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do" (Hebrews 4:13).
