I'm not a christian, but i'm open for anything that's credible. What are the more popular and credible creationist books out there? (specifically refuting evolution that is)
Behe's "Darwin's Black Box" is not too awful, but it's arguments are fallacious. It's just that he makes fewer errors than most Creationists because he's an actual scientist. He still makes fatal errors, however.
There aren't any books which claim to refute evolution that are entirely scientifically or logically credible.

The Blind Watchmaker by Dawkins actually sets out very good arguments against evolution, generally much better than is found in most Creationist books.
Of course, he then tears those arguments to shreds, but I find it telling that it takes a scientist who accepts evolution to make the most intelligent arguments against it.
