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

[Cato]

Being a deity and all, I know nothing of science. So I defer to all the scientists around the world and throughout history for my knowledge of science. In regards to the age of the earth, there are scientists who are also christian who argue for the young earth claims of the bible. 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.

Note, do not give reference to an unpublished scientist with a Phd from some backwater university, like Oral Robert University.

So, based on later posts you consider LSU a 'backwater university, like Oral Roberts...?
