Why has there been such great variance in just the last 200 years in recognizing these divine and eternal rights?

What's the point? Where's the relevance to a variance? What you believe has no effect on Human Rights...
Are women human?

And if so, why did YHWH fail to recognize them?

Who said he didn't?
Are Slaves human?

And if so, why did YHWH condone slavery?

You'll have to ask him... The truth is I'm not God it just seems that way when I'm near leftists...

If these rights are divinely inspired and eternal in scope, then why have they changed and fluctuated so drastically within just a relatively short period of time?

When did they fluctuate? Be specific... I expect you're confusing Human Rights with the Government protections... as a general rules leftist cofnuse Rights with what I call government sponsored privilege; AKA: Civil Rights... Human Rights are not civil rights. Civil Rights are those privileges which are protected by a given power to the extent and whimsy of that power; these privileges are subject to change without notice and are nothing even remotely similar to human rights... for instance they bring no particular responsibility; as long as one fits the threshold of the protected status, one may execerise the privilege until the power sees fit to restrict that status.
Human Rights are those things to which human beings are entitled to do by virtue of the life granted them by God, they rest on the divine authority of God and come with sacred responsibilities, which when violated result in one forfeiting their rights.

i contend that these rights are not divine, but rather, changeable and humanly-inspired.

So what I hear you saying Kitty is that in the absence of God, Human Rights are a concept which can be anything... which would necessarily include nothing... which tends to render what ever concept falls into those parameters as "MEANINGLESS"
SO you're either joining my position or you're conceding... which is it?
