The best stuff I have read on it basically lies out how devolution is far more common than evolution, and arguments that show pretty well that the progressive evolution from cells to the specialized organ that is the human eye is not yet explained.
That is a Long, Long way from supporting what ID is, it is merely a discussion of what evolution isn't.
In any case, if you have a theory, you have to find evidence to support it, or find out that the evidence doesn't support it.

Well the eye thing is easily explained, by another one of those things that can not be explained.
In the human female, the breasts stay full and large during her adult life, where in other mammals they only swell during times of nursing, and then shrink down to be out of the way.
Since the human female breasts stays large, it clearly stays there to be pleasing to the eye, to attract a mate. So the eyeball being the specialised organ that it is was clearly designed to look at breasts. See, we can't explain how they developed, but we can see how they clearly work together.

I am so going to get detention after class for this one.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
