Jim and others:

I would go to the more professional literature and read the book Numbers, Ronald, 1992. THE CREATIONISTS: THE EVOLUTION OF SCIENTIFIC CREATIONISM. Ron Numbers is a good historian of science at University of Wisconsin who has made the creation movement in the US one of his areas of research. The book is also easy to read.

This one is a bit dated but a very good place to begin.

James,

If you are interested in creation-evolution literature and info, the best
place to start is the website of the National Center for Science Education
(NCSE) at http://www.natcenscied.org/

Incidentally, the latest issue of their newsletter is all about historical
and the most recent American opinion polls on the issue. Each issue of
their newsletter also has a "centerfold" of book reviews and literature
suggestions.

If you are interested in a particular part (e.g. history, philosophy,
science, law, ethics etc.) of the creation-evolution debate, e-mail me
off-list and I can point you to relevant literature.
