Can anyone please recommend good books on the following subjects:
Creationism vs evolution
Science and religion (Notice I cunningly used the word 'and' as opposed to 'vs', as I'm sure there are authors that feel they aren't tangential and those that feel they are.)
In both these categories, I would prefer reading unbiased publications.
Books on philosophy, both Western and Eastern (I have books on western philosophy but don't know of any classics on eastern. Nominations on both categories are welcome)
Books on Astronomy (NOT ASTROLOGY) (I have a few and I'm not a beginner, but I'd like to add to my collection)
Thanking any responders in advance.

Buy the Bible. Reina-Valera version, or at leat the New International Version. A must read.
Picture this:
The end times.
The World Church is rising in power and only one man, nay, one God, can stop them.

And you were worried about a Nuclear war...

(Any similarities of the New New Testament to the 1985 film Red Dawn are purely coincidental)

Originally posted by ASROMAbefore you read ANY book on evolutionism & creationism, it is important to see one end by yourself, without the opinion of an author. Go read it, seriously; then read Darwin, obviously... and when you are done, then you can easily surf authors speaking about both ends, able to form your own opinion instead of copying the one of the first author you read.
I said unbiased, but thanks anyways. 😉

I've read the Qu'raan numerous times, which is very similar to the Bible in terms of its story of creation. In fact it might even be identical, although I won’t say it is for fear of offending the purists.
I also have a solid understanding of the theory of evolution, so I'm not a complete dunce.
I've ‘endeared’ both sides of the coin as it were and I'm just looking for expert commentary as my interest has been rekindled. I have delved into these subjects before and have read a few books although admittedly few and admittedly a long time ago.
