[ You asserted that the vast majority of the founding fathers were creationists, so it's your burden to provide evidence for it. ]

And providing you with information that you could easily Google yourself would accomplish exactly what.?..

It would prove that the Founding Fathers were not Creationists, some of them didn't believe in the Bible at all (Deists such as Franklin) and others were hardly Biblical literalists (such as Thomas Jefferson who eschewed all accounts of the miraculous whether from Greek, Roman or Biblical sources).

You have nothing that can contradict the simple fact that neither Deists, nor freethinking Christians (as Jefferson called himself) were Biblical literalists and therefore neither was a Creationist.

Laziness is no excuse for assertion without substantiation.
