Creation scientists and other biographies of interest

Can creationists be real scientists?
Many secular and atheist groups mock Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum for not being scientific. However, some of the most influential scientists past and present have been and are creationists (see below).

Which scientists of the past believed in a Creator?
As far as we know, the scientists of the past listed here believed in a literal Genesis unless indicated with an asterisk. The ones who did not are nevertheless included in the list below because of their general belief in the creator God of the Bible and opposition to evolution. But because the idea that the earth is ‘millions of years’ old has been disastrous in the long run, no present day ‘long-agers’ are included intentionally, because we submit that they should know better.
Note: These scientists are sorted by birth year.
Early
Francis Bacon (1561–1626) Scientific method.
Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) (WOH) Physics, Astronomy (see also The Galileo affair: history or heroic hagiography?)
Johann Kepler (1571–1630) (WOH) Scientific astronomy
Athanasius Kircher (1601–1680) Inventor
John Wilkins (1614–1672)

All of them believe that the world and its inhabitants were created in six days?

Wouldn't "scientists" ~ if speaking from the point of view of their area of expertise or specialization ~ need and want and provide scientific evidence pointing towards a "young Earth" and a "Six day creation" if that was what they proposed was the truth?

I don't see any problem with scientists believing in a creator but shouldn't a creationist be writing for a theological magazine rather than a magazine like 'Science'?

No more creationist 'scientist' than that? Not very many, if you ask me...

I counted fast but it looks like 194 on that list. I don't have Excel on an iPhone so I can't copy and paste to truly figure it out but counting them that way.

On a thread on pretty much exactly this topic a year or two ago, someone demonstrated with links and references that there are somewhere in the region of 2,000,000 scientists in the world comparable to the ones on your list. What have you counted to? 194?

I think RBHILL clearly has shown the very few number of creationists who call themselves scinentists. So if you want to bet on a winning horse, don't chose any creationist 'scientist'.

Wasn't evilution invented by a creationist, by the way?

He (RBHILL) does make a good case against Creationism
with his 99.99% of scientists not believing in it.

Oh the 194 settles it. 193 and I'd have had my doubts.

Darwin never invented evilution, who says he was?

Evolution, yes. Evilution, no.
Evilution was invented by the modern creationist community.

I never heard that term before. Until RJ I thought he was the one who made it up.
