First of all, thank you for your list. Let's take a look at it. Well, none of the below are physicists,
so the question then remains, are any of them notable in their field of study?
The list.
Aside from yourself, who says' Austin's discoveries are "outstanding"?

3 secular papers. That's it? Pretty pathetic for a PhD, and hardly notable.
"Dr. Kenneth B. Cumming is a creation scientist with an M.A. and Ph.D. in
biology. He graduated from Harvard University and was awarded with honors involving
chemistry and
biology at the school of Tufts University, Massachusetts. After being a faculty member of the different universities of Wisconsin, he then became the dean of the
Institute of Creation Research Graduate School."

20 secular publications? Again a apathetic output, and hardly notable.
.
"He had at least 14 peer reviewed academic papers, none related to evolutionary biology at all, and none published after 1971"

14+ peer reviewed academic papers isn't impressive in the least, and hardly notable.
So, are any of these people notable scholars? Of course not. At best, Gish is notable for his involvement in creationism, but being notable in creationism is like being best speller in your 6th grade classroom; in science it means bupkis.
And rightly so. Creationism/creation science is not a scientific undertaking. It's a religious belief and undertaking. And none of the so-called research done in the name of creationism qualifies as doing actual science: taking the scientific method into account when doing this so-called "science."
If you knew anything at all about science you'd know that proving, establishing a proof, is outside the purview of science. Proof is only relevant in mathematics, logic, and in assessing alcohol content.
