What do you mean by "unbiased"? From a scientific perspective the evidence is sufficiently strong that the and considered so settled that scientists consider evolution to be a fact, while the Theory of Evolution is the explanation for how it happened. There is continuing research in various niches about how evolution happened, but there is no practical controversy among scientists that it did happen.

Some religious groups object to this on the grounds that it seems to contradict a literal interpretation of the Bible or does not explicitly require the intervention of a deity.

The concept that there is actually any scientific debate on the is the product of the media's desire to simplify issues into a debate which one representative for each side, as well as the arguments from groups like the Discovery Institute that schools should "teach the controversy" (when there isn't actually any from a scientific perspective).

For some good background you might look up the PBS documentary on the Dover School Board case. In that trial, every argument made by the creationists was shot down by scientists and the judge issued an opinion that was pretty devastating to the cause of creationism.
