Are there any scientists who don't accept evolution and are NOT Jewish, Christian, or Muslim?

No.
And there aren't any real scientists at all who don't accept evolution.
There are literally billions of people in the world whose traditions teach them some creation myth other than the one told in the bible...there are, in fact, many more who hold to other creation myths than there are "creationists." How many people believe a myth doesn't give a myth any more or less validity...only evidence for or against provides a measure of validity. And there is no evidence of any kind for "creationism." It's very much a US fundamentalist phenomenon -- even the vast majority of christians in other countries accept the fact of evolution, and don't think the world is 6,000 years old.

Darwin - the following quote supports this view:
"To my mind it (evolution) accords better with what we know of the laws impressed on matter by the Creator, that the production and extinction of the past and present inhabitants of the world should have been due to secondary causes, like those determining the birth and death of the individual. . . . There is grandeur in this view of life . . . having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that . . . from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved."
He married evolution and creationism - so in effect, he is likely the first 'Scientific Creationist' who was not a Christian, Jew or Muslim.

Is Darwin to be considered a scientist? Work your way around the quote above. Interesting that such an oft quoted evolutionist speaks to his beliefs working in harmony with a 'Creator'.

wise Christians may ought to discover ignorant fundies to be a source of embarrassment. If there are any human beings wavering about what to have self assurance, the shortcoming of information of fundamentalism may likely turn them faraway from Christianity. A non-creationist Christian can be a Christian with a triple digit IQ.

Of course there are. There are creation stories in almost every culture. And there are Jewish people who take Genesis literally, as it's in the Torah.

Yeah, but they don't accept creationism, but they accept Intelligent Design, which is basically creationism without the religion behind it.

Not really, no.
In fact, they are pretty much all in the same subset of Christianity.
