Also check out his FAQ about evolution and theology.
Okay, I can't resist adding my own little rantlet: In all the debates, there seems to be an implication that accepting evolution automatically implies an atheist world-view. But this doesn't have to be the case. Evolution and Christianity can co-exist.
One social difficulty with believing in both evolution and Christianity: the voices stating that "accepting evolution implies atheism" are pretty vocal (not sure how numerous) - both on the conservation Christian side and with several prominent atheists. And if those two camps actually agree on something - it really makes one feel like you're swimming upstream to believe something different.

There's that book by Francis Collins that some ppl have been harping about. Collins talks about believing in either of the extremes (evolution/atheism/"science" or creation/deism/"spirituality" + evolution & creation cannot coexist) is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Having a baby yourself, you can probably imagine what a bad idea that is.

I've read Finding Darwin's God by Kenneth Miller. I'll have to look at the Collins book sometime.
