I ask them if they believe in magic, because belief in magic is what creation science comes down to in essence. It stops them cold because they can't explain how, on a molecular level that stays within the boundaries of known physics, intelligent design works. If you don't believe in magic, or some other form of action at a distance that violates the laws of quantum mechanics, you can't explain how an intelligent designer moves genes around to direct evolution.

There is no such thing as a creation scientist. Not in the academic world anyway.
Science requires that experiments and theories conform to three basic requirements - they must be controlled, measurable and repeatable.
The first rule of such a person must be that God was too stupid or unintelligent to use evolution as his tool!!! Hardly Christian!!!!!
Creation scientists as they call themselves are simply a few members of the more extreme Christian sects. They are arguing a religious postulation with NO science behind it!!!
Remember Christianity is a faith - if you need proof - you lack that faith!!!

I would ask him how old the Earth is, and if it turns out that he believes it is only 11,000 years old I would ask him how something as majestic as the Grand Canyon formed in such a little amount of time. How were the thousands and thousands of layers of sedimentary rock formed in a way that looks like they formed slowly. I would ask him how radioactive isotopes were set so that they would appear to be much older than they apparently are.
Most importantly I would ask him why God did all these things that make it look like the Earth is a very old place. Did that mean that his God is trying to trick people? Perhaps that would be true, but I would never follow a God like that.

If he's actually a creation scientist (i.e., one of the leaders of the movement), I would ask "Why all the lying for Jesus?"
If it's a member of the lay public, I would ask, "Could you define evolution for me"...and then go from there.

Isn't "Creation Scientist" an oxymoron?
"Jumbo Shrimp"
"Military Intelligence"
"Country Music"

I would ask him why there are no fossils of all of these 'mutations' that supposedly morphed us from amoebas to humans? Wouldn't it make sense that there were some half man/half reptile creatures preserved in mud somewhere?
Then, I would ask him to please explain how if the universe has been expanding for the past bajillion years, how it was that our amoebic ancestors weren't burned to a crisp, considering we would have been much closer to the sun back then?
For that matter, I would ask him why they find seashells on top of mountains?
And then I would sit back and enjoy the answers.

Does all that bearing false witness make him fear for his soul?

I would not ask him anything...as it would be completely pointless and a waste of time.
