This^. When people say "created equal," all that is meant, and all that should be inferred, is "created with equal rights under law." It most certainly does not mean
equal in any sense of the word--that's patently absurd. I don't have the same quality or type or quantity of intelligence as Stephen Hawking. I'm not as successful as Spielsberg or any number of people. My legal rights, however, are the same.
That discussion, are people "equal" in gifts, is a rabbit hole and a distraction. It's demonstrably not so, thus, any time spent on it is wasted.
