Wendee, Have you tried the National Center for Science Education (NCSE)? Web Site: http://www.ncseweb.org/default.asp
NCSE will be your best source for solid information on the history of the evolution/creationism controversy. NCSE is very active in defending the teaching of evolution in public schools. NCSE works on educating the public about science and scientific knowledge. Evolution VS. Creationism by Eugenie C. Scott is available through their web site (the link gets you to Amazon. COM). The site also has "A Brief History of Creationism - From the Middle Ages to Creation Science". The list of NCSE available speakers includes: Glenn Branch who testified at the Dover vs. Kitzmiller trial in Pennsylvania; Kevin Padian, Professor and Curator at UC Berkeley Museum of Paleontology; and Eugenie C. Scott. I strongly recommend reading the full 139 page Kitzmiller vs. Dover decision by Judge John E. Jones III. If you can't find a copy contact me off-list, I can email a pdf copy (364kb). I can also send a CD with Kitzmiller vs. Dover and lots of other Evolution and Creationism information including the Discovery Center's "Wedge Document".
