I found Cornelius Hunter's book "Darwin's God: Evolution and the Problem of Evil" a pretty good anti-evolution book dealing with the history and philosophy of evolution at the time of Darwin. He argues (rather well) that Darwinian evolution was just as much a religious idea as an areligious idea at the time. He is a scientist (PhD in biophysics from U of IL) and does spend some time talking about some more popular icons of creation, but his philosophical and historical interpretations are very interesting (and the primary reason to read the book) and give both creationist and evolutionist a new way of looking at the controversy. I don't know why it's not as popular as many other books. Maybe it's because he doesn't come straight out and say his views about the age of the earth (just from his interpretation of what the fall is and how it affects structures in lower organisms I'm guessing young).
