Like have any christian scientists had anything about their "creationism" printed in a scientific journal? I am not talking about their website, an actually reputable scientific journal, has it ever printed any works by a christian scientist?

Let me make this clear, a reputable scientific journal. You know, a scientific journal. So don't mention a christian school people!

Yes, but: the reputable scientists are not creationists -- no scientist of any merit can be that -- but it is possible to believe in a god, and the idea of Jesus and resurrection without accepting the creationist baggage. But there are not many. Since religion requires belief in supernatural phenomena, while science explicitly disallows such, it requires a bit of doublethink to pull it off.

There are Christian scientists who subscribe to the theory of evolution.
No reputable scientific journal would print an article about creationism as science.

I'm sure they have. But their faith does not keep them from being objective about evidence they see in their work. If it did, their work would be rejected. Who they are, I can't answer. I've never asked any that I have met, and their faith isn't important in publishing, as long as it doesn't cause a loss of objectivity.
Edit: No offense, leovillicus, but none of the articles from icr.org have ever been seen in anything but Creation Research Science Quarterly (as far as I could discern), not exactly an objective journal.

I have been a born again Christian for 30 years and have always believed that evolution co-insides perfectly with the bible. I was ostracized terribly in the 70's because it was such a radical idea back then. But I prayed much about it and there's proof. Putting evolution (with God as it's creator) into the picture when you read Genesis answers many unanswered questions, like for instance: 1) Where'd Cain's wife come from? 2) Who were the other people that Cain was afraid might kill him after he killed Able? 3) Why Adam and Eve were created on the second day of creation and man was created on the 6th? The bible says in Genesis chapter 2, "these are the generations of the creation of heavens and of the earth when they were created......" The key word here is the word "generations". It means something that came from something else. And another key word in the puzzle is the word "day". The 6 days of creation. Peter states (2Peter 3:8) "a day to the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day." Creationalists feel that they are degrading God if they don't believe that He made everything in 24 hour days and they feel the need to defend God in this against evolutionists. But they need to ask themselves this question. How does God work in this world? He usually works within the laws and systems he set up. And who's to say which view brings more glory to God, that he made everything in 24 hour days or that He created systems by which new life and new generations come from the old ones. I think the later view does. *Just a thought on question 2. I asked a pastor once who the "everyone" was in Genesis 4:14 when Cain says after he killed Able, "everyone that findeth me shall slay me". He said,"Adam and Eve." (Of course that's logical if you believe they were the only other human beings on the face of the planet, naturally, it would have to be them.) So I says to him, "Well then, who was Cain"s wife?" He spouted out the standard answer to that question, "Eve." At this point even he's starting to see the contradiction here. So I sayed to him," So you're telling me that Adam let him take HIS wife and Cain's own MOTHER to be his wife? And she went along with this after he killed her other son? And where did he and Eve live, in Eden or in the land of Nod? And did Adam go with them? Since she and Adam had more children, she must've gone back to Adam once she had finished procreating with her son. Or did they all live together as one big incestuous family in Nod?" Do you see the rediculousness of the view without evolution? It doesn't make sense and it didn't even make sense to this pastor that was promoting it.

Depending on the field...although many studies in the past ....many had a more agnostic view than ones that could be defined as cristian.....
But I do know that
Galileo once said,
"Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe"
but that might have been to get out of being made....DEAD....

Try the Christian science center in Boston, Mass.

About archeology and whatever else might be historically related to religion and so on, certainly. But if you mean anything in regards to ideas such as intelligent design...attempts to specifically try to validify any of the supernatural claims of Christianity, I highly doubt it.

Several scientists associated with this organization have had many published materials. They do have their own site and newsletters, of course. If you contact them, though, they can steer you to articles published in well known and respected magazines and journals. The link is below.
