some books on Darwinism, ID and Old-Earth Creationism

With brief reviews by Marvin Olasky in World...

Hugh Ross' Creation as Science (NavPress, 2006) should have shelf life over the coming decades because it shows ways to compare Intelligent Design and Darwinian models as new information emerges.

For example, as astronomers discover more planets outside our solar system and learn more about their parent stars, they may find increasing evidence that solar system characteristics permitting the evidence of advanced life are relatively common: That would be a plus for those with faith in Darwin.

Or, they may find those characteristics to be exceedingly rare: That would be a plus for Intelligent Design advocates. And if they found characteristics that suggest an extreme youthfulness of all stars and planets, young-earthers could rejoice.

Ross supplies 52 such tests.

David Snoke's A Biblical Case for an Old Earth (Baker, 2006) lucidly examines both the biblical account and the evidence now available and suggests that it's both righteous and reasonable to consider the earth to be billions rather than thousands of years old.
