The National Academy of Sciences has just released a new book called Science, Evolution and Creationism.
The public briefing is happening right now: Live! Listen to the Briefing.

Book PDF
I've uploaded the PDF of the book to make it easily available:
It's over 3 MB, don't click the link unless you have a fast Internet connection or are prepared to wait.
I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but glancing at the brochure and the book, it appears to be an answer to creationist books like Of Pandas and People.

Re: Book PDF
Very good article. Concise, to the point and informative, in language that can be understood by anyone with minimal education.

There is no better love between 2 people than mutual respect for each other

I noptice that their article consists of a ratio of 100% assertion to 0% counter-argument.
Now if I wanted to rubbish an 89 page book, I'm sure that I'd be able to find at least one passage in it I could actually refute.
