Is THAT your definition of "creationism?" The Framers never heard of it, I assure you.

They were speaking of the Creator God. They asserted the inalienability of the human rights of Life, Liberty, and Happiness (property) on grounds that these rights were endued in us directly by God. That is what makes them "inalienable" — they are part of our own human nature as creatures of God.

Is “Nature's God” as seen by Franklin and Jefferson the same as the God of the Bible in your mind? If so, then why did Jefferson rewrite the Bible, and why did both deny the divinity of Christ?
