Since the majority (if not all) all of the founding fathers were creationist (in that they believed God created the Earth), does that mean that they were all morons too?
Or just ignorant?
I'm not sure even the most ardent creationist would argue that the founding fathers were indeed ignorant - ignorant, that is, of a theory that wasn't published until nearly 100 years after their time. Your argument is simply silly.

That is simply not the facts.
Several different versions of evolutionary theory were circulating back then. Most of Darwins ideas came from his grandfather who had been a strong proponent of the idea that species had come into existence by means other than creation. Darwin was the one who wrote a book and tried to put some scientific examples behind the theory.
