I Couldn't Quite Pull Myself Away From the Q's
Chronology of Science: From Stonehenge to the Human Genome Project Call Number: Q125 .C482 2002
One mention of creationism: In 1898 the french nauralist Antonio Snider-Pellegrini published Creation and its Mysteries Unveiled in which he explained the formation of the continents using the biblical account of creation (p. 165).
Magic Universe: the Oxford Guide to Modern Science Call Number: Q125 .C275 2003
This one talks about the debate and explicately states that "neo-Darwinists" have largely hijacked evolution as an atheist concept by oversimplifying the theory to natural selection, thus framing the debate as either or. This is by far the most concise and to the point article that I have yet found stating this one of the major problems evolution as a theory faces. It is good to see it mentioned so clearly (p. 274-275).
Encyclopedia of Pseudoscience: From Alien Abduction to Zone Therapy Call Number: Q157 .E57 2000
Includes entries for Cosmologies, variant; Creation Research Society (mentioned in almost all I have looked at); Creation Science; Creative Evolution; and so on...
"Cosmologies, variant" discusses creation myths. It gives a brief overview of some of the characteristics similar to most creation accounts and mentions some of the key variations and then concludes with a discussion of sciences slow entry into the study of cosmology. It doesn't state an opinion, but just the facts. (p. 60-61)
"Creative evolution" is discussed in the entry on Henri Bergson as that is the title of a book where he challenged the ability of "natural selection" to be the only driving force in evolution. It then says that scientists have debunked his theories and that "natural selection" is in fact king. The authors of this entry should have looked at the Magic Universe, because that certainly tells a different story. (p. 30)
Science and Its Times: Understanding the Social Significance of Scientific Discovery v.7 (1950-Present) Call Number: Q175.46 S35 2000 v.7
The entry us titled "Evolution and Creationism in American Public Schools." I wonder if the volumes covering early time periods mention in more detail some of the historical debates uncovered in the chronologies above. In the future, that might be worth looking into. (p. 80-83)
Social Issues in Science and Technology Call Number: Q 175.5 N49 1999
Only has an entry on "Creationism" and discusses the same old political stuff (p. 48-51).
