Do any 'leading/accomplished' scientists support young earth theory?

[GhostofZeus]

However, is there any group of 'leading/accomplished' geologists or physicists who have actually published something that is considered a plausible argument for an earth that is 6,000 years old? If so, can someone please reference the publication.

Plausible?

No.

But see Russell Humphreys, Robert Gentry and John Hartnett for physicists that are young Earth creationists.

Thanks, I just glanced at Russell Humphreys' credentials, and Louisiana State University doesn't cut it, not even close. Why am I not surprised he is from Louisiana. I'm looking for members of the NAS, Oxford Fellows or similar.
