I guess if creationists actually started turning out real science, they could qualify for public grants, too. Remember, not all research is carried out on the public dime; a lot of it is privately funded. Creationists evidently have a pretty decent well of funds they can go to to fund their research -- if they actually wanted to do any research, which we know they don't.

Actually they do their own research. They don't need to coerce people through taxes to fund it as evolutionists do. If evolutionists didn't have taxpayer dollars few would fund their nonsense. Creationists aren't hurting for money, research or truth as evolutionists are.
Let us remember that the rapidly-growing biotech industry, which is profit-oriented and thus non-ideological, employs thousands of scientists, and they don't waste their time or their shareholders' money doing "creation science" (if they did, the creationist websites would surely mention it).
So-called creation science has produced nothing of value in the medical, agricultural, or any other fields. I know, I know ... there have been scientists who were creationists. Before Darwin, just about everyone was a creationist. I'm speaking specifically of "creation science." It's a scientifically barren doctrine.
