Davis Young's Christianity and the Age of the Earth is excellent. On the
history of the debate between Genesis and Geology he has another book, The
biblical Flood : a case study of the Church's response to extrabiblical
evidence /
Grand Rapids, Mich. : Eerdmans ; Carlisle : Paternoster Press, 1995.
Although I completely reject the day-age rationalizations, John Wiester's
book, The Genesis Connection has the almost unrivaled excellence of being
easy to understand. You can find my own perspective at

Science
In answer to creation science Glenn Morton has some good papers on his
website: http://home.flash.net/~mortongr/dmd.htm
To a large extent the issue is a non-issue once a person understands that in
Scripture God accommodated his theological revelation to the science of the
times. The relation between Christianity and geology is no different in
principle than between Christianity and mechanical engineering.
Best wishes,
Paul
