Truth and beliefs and assertions are all separate issues.
The Founders believed that the rights they specified and asserted in the Declaration were endowed by their Creator. There were about 50 signers.
There's not a lot of room in this for debate.
However, if you can find a statement made by a majority of the Founders showing they did NOT believe that the rights mentioned in the Declaration were endowed by their Creator as they wrote the Constitution, that would be a good thing to reference.
You are free to proceed.
The doi is not a legally binding document. It is OPINION and you know what they say about opinions....
