Moebius,
As AdminNosy said, your questions do a good job of summarizing the debate, and cover a lot of ground. Since you're doing a paper for school, I can recommend a website that has a lot of information on how to answer such questions.
TalkOrigins Archive: Exploring the Creation/Evolution Controversy
Try "search the archive" or "browse the archive."
You can also try browsing some of the forums here, or trying our own search function here. I'd recommend starting at TalkOrigins and, as you have questions from your reading, searching for discussion here, or starting a new, more specific thread!
Hope that helps, and good luck with your research!
