I agree, Kenneth Miller's book is one of the best on the subject. The 
author, a Roman Catholic biologist, was a key expert witness in demolishing 
the Intelligent Design evidence in the recent Dover School trial. Darwin's 
church-mice score again... That's an example of what I meant about the 
value of support from educated Christians.

My other favourite is Reason, Science and Faith by Paul Marston and Roger 
Forster. Monarch Books 1999. ISBN 1 85424 441 8
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1579106617/sr=8-1/qid=1154698474/ref=sr_1_1/103-0047404-5142229?ie=UTF8

This is a stunningly comprehensive, scholarly account of the issues by two 
British evangelical Christian leaders. Be prepared to be startled by the 
detailed account in this book of the relatively recent emergence of the 
familiar creationist movement after 1960, and the way the real history of 
the controversy has become unrecognisably distorted.
