I'd be very interested to find *any* creationists who have come to
support creationism (the Henry Morris variety) who weren't *already*
committed to a very conservative Christian stance *before* they
accepted creationism.
The only one I have heard mentioned by creationists (that I remember)
was the Russian Dmitri Kouznetsov who toured Australia some years ago.
But he was found to have fabricated a number of references in an
article published in a journal of which he was an associate editor,
and was promptly disowned by creationist organisations.
