point remains that most of the founders did not use that word, it is unknown how it slipped in,
Your article explains how it was probably slipped in. (interesting choice of word there, do you really think it was slipped in?)

Quote:
There are several possibilities

Jefferson changed his mind and reworded it to what we know today
The change was suggested by Adams.

The change was suggested by Franklin.

The change was suggested by both Adams and Franklin.
The change was suggested by one or both of the other two members of the committee of five or all four of them that was given the task of producing this document.

I fear you too have lost the meaning and clung to a word (Creator) which you translate as God. I can assure you that, had the founders know what you were going to twist, they would have even left out that word - creator.

I guess Creator of man can apply to everything from the first cell to your parents to a pair of Africans, from who we all sprung.
Sure it can mean any of those things, but whose twisting the definition now?

creator - definition of creator by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

And, based on scholars - as you see above - we are not even supposed to be talking about this.

And yet you do.
