Most of the debates about creation/evolution focus on the
incompatibility between "creation-science" and real science.
However, a book I came across recently, *Is God a Creationist?  The
Religious Case Against Creation-Science*, ed. R. M. Frye, makes the
case that 20th-century creationists' ignorance of their own religious
and theological tradition is at least as profound as their ignorance
of science.  Having had some exposure to Christian theology in the
past, I tend to agree.  The book is a collection of articles by
various theologians and scholars (and a Pope), and looks very good so
far.  All of the contributors accept the Christian doctrine of
creation, BTW.
