Subject: Science vs creation science ("creationism")

With respect to the "creationism" controversy (esp. in Alabama) a month or
two ago, I found a very good text on the subject in my local public library
(Seattle, WA, USA) titled "Science & Creationism" by Ashley Montagu, 1984.
 It contains 19 short "articles" on the subject from many authors such as
Isaac Asimoc, Stephen J. Gould, Kenneth Miller, etc, etc.  In addition, it
contains the full text of of the "Decision of the Court"  against creation
science in Arkansas.

For those of us (especially myself) not familiar with the signifivcant
details of these emotional and long-lived arguments, this book is
exceptionally enlightening.

Any help to find other texts or other resources on this subject would be
appreciated.
