The difference between a real scientist and one of those creationist "scientists" is that real scientist experiment and experiment until they have sufficient data to come up with a theory while a creationist try to make everything fit with his faith. This includes using a hammer and pound the heck out of scientific laws until they comply with his faith.
Speaking from experience, I advice you to not take credence in any of these creationists.
--Speaking from experience, while the majority of YEC's are uneducated and incredible, I know that there are at least a handful who are very much deserving to be called scientists without the quotations.
--Furtheremore, I strongly suggest to cloud_strife that he not prejudicially conclude unwarranted credence to someone because of their YECism. Instead, I suggest that he look into the issues himself and make his conclusions subsequent to rigorous study.
Cheers,

Creation "scientists" aren't really scientists at all, period. In order for someone to be a scientist, he has to be willing to conclude that his beliefs may be false if enough data go against them. However, his faith prevents him from doing this. THAT is the difference between real science and creation science. Real science come up with conclusions AFTER having done experiments and extrapolations, while creation science come up with conclusions first THEN beat the hell out of the data to conform with the conclusions.
--As I see it, there is no such thing as a 'creation scientist', as your either a scientist or your not. Likewise I don't believe 'creation science' exists, as you either have science, or you don't. The methodology you just spoke of is applied by many YEC's, however I still maintain that there are some who are scientifically sound in their methodology of inquiry.
