"There are no creationist scientists. "

ummmm... I know what you mean, but like earlier remarks, context is crucial.

There certainly ARE those who do various types of science, who then take off their science hat, put on their personal hat and declare themselves to 'believe' that some creator made it all... insofar as they do this, they are not acting as scientists.

In my opinion, this is the ONLY way to handle 'belief' that does not involve logical error....and they might be right...*shrug*. Even then we are still confronted with the question "Why was there a 'god' before anything else existed?" I will grant certain 'creation' theories might be right, but belief in them is circular. Still, it is possible to hold one of them on Sunday and still do science on Monday.
