Michael,
Apparently you asked us to name a world-class scientist who's also a
creationist? (I seem to have missed the post in which this was mentioned, I
apologize if I'm confused and invite correction.)
Here's one.
Dr. Raymond Damadian, probably the real inventor of the MRI, the fellow who
got screwed by the Nobel committee a few weeks ago. Creationist friends
tell me (a) he's a creationist; and (b) that may be a major reason why he
wasn't named the winner of this prize. Now that's a biased interpretation,
we all know that various things can lead to one person being honored and
another one not being honored. Whether or not his belief in creationism led
him to be snubbed (which is more than plausible to me), and whether or not
he really is the genuine inventor of the MRI (many scientists believe he is,
he received the National Medal of Technlogy for this), he's indisputably a
world-class scientist. He's also apparently a creationist. On that aspect,
go here:

I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few others out there also.
