That required the full development of science as separate from religion, and it seems to have achieved that status around the time of the development of the science of geology, which came to be creationism's archnemesis, scientifically speaking. This came to pass in the late 1800's, but really was the result of Hutton's work 100 years earlier. So, we could say that creationism lost its scientific standing in the 1800's, or rather a while after most of that list of distinguished religious scientists you listed.
Not all scientists agree with the concept of non-overlapping magisteria so I do not agree with you that is what made creationists not scientists. Von Braun was the head of NASA's Apollo program and a creationist, was he not a scientist because this was in the late 1960s? In fact there are still creationists working at NASA today and the MRI was invented by a young earth creationist, are they not scientists? I think you are taking a rather silly position, and I think you should just address the evidence and arguments rather than playing this game.
