Wendee,
I would suggest you consider Barbara Forrest, co-author of the
excellent "Creationism's Trojan Horse: The Wedge of Intelligent
Design" and expert witness at the Dover trial of 2005. I happened to
catch her great interview on the "Point of Inquiry" podcast recently,
which you can do
Yes, I second Michael Ruse. We invited him for a seminar at the
University of Louisville and he was outstanding. Very personable, and
witty.

I concur that Edward J. Larson is an outstanding historian of
science, especially on the history of creationism. I've used three
of his books, Summer for the Gods (for which he won the Pulitzer
Prize in history), Trial and Error and Evolution: The Remarkable
History of a Scientific Theory
Wendee,
I would propose Michael Ruse, whom I was fortunate enough to have as a
professor one semester while he still taught at the University of Guelph
(Ontario, Canada). Currently, he teaches at Florida State University and
has focused a lot of his career on the philosophy and history of science
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

Does anyone know of any prominent historians of science, maybe someone who
specifically focuses on the whole history of the evolution/creation
controversy? I want to find someone well known - maybe who has gotten some
media coverage - but it not being my field I really have no idea. I can do a
goog
