A good place to start might be Davis Young's book, "Christianity and the age of
the earth". Also (though I haven't read them), several books by G. Brent
Dalrymple would probably be good:

Young carefully explains the methods geologists use to avoid errors in dating,
and describes both historical methods and analytical methods (radiometric) of
dating. Young is a Christian who accepts an ancient earth. I don't know
Dalrymple's religious convictions. He was called as a witness for the plaintiff
in the litigation over the Arkansas "balanced treatment" law which required
creationism to be taught whenever evolution was taught.
