Three founding father that did not attend the constitutional convention were Richard H. Lee, Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson. Also John Adams, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock didn't attend either.

When were the three branches of government created?
The separation of powers is called Checks and Balances in the constitution. They are Articles number 1,2,& 3. You can see by the fact that they are 1,2,& 3 how important our founding fathers felt that not giving one branch of government too much power was. So you can see that this concept was originally created in the U.S. Constitution at the very beginning of the founding of our country. Famous Frenchman Montesquieu believed in separating the powers of government and having Checks and Balances. I am sorry I can not elaborate more on the question.

Is Christopher Columbus one of America's founding fathers?
Nope, he discovered the Caribbeans, not America (he wishes :3) Christopher Columbus is credited with discovering the New World in 1492, even though it had been discovered thousands of years earlier by the Native Americans. The Founding Fathers were the men who were involved in drafting the Declaration of Independence (1776), the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution (1787).
Did any founding fathers oppose article 3 of the constitution or establishment of the supreme court?
To the best of my knowledge, I don't believe any did. Many of the Founding Fathers were educated and trained as lawyers and the necessity of courts and a means to enforce laws in a new country would be a requirement. That, and a judicial arm of government was needed to counterbalance the legislative and executive branches of government so opposition to it wouldn't have been wise.

Why did the founding fathers allow slavery to continue?
Most of them had slaves and were dependent on them. Incorrect. Only 3 of the 7 founding fathers were slave owners. There were 7 founding fathers of the US Constitution: Franklin, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Jay, Madison, and Hamilton. 3 were slave owners (Washington, Jefferson, and Madison all from Virginia). 3 were not (Adams, Jay, and Hamilton) In fact they were adamantly against slavery. Franklin became an abolitionist after the Constitutional Convention in 1785 and freed both his slaves. The founding fathers from Virgina (later a confederate state) were pro-slavery. The others from New York or Massachusettes were against slavery. This initial philosophical contradiction during the founding of the US wasn't resolved until 80 years later during the US Civil War.
