If anyone's interested in Intelligent Design, I'd highly recommend Stephen C. Meyer's Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design. The book was just named as one of Amazon.com's top-10 best sellers of 2009 in the category of science and is recieving five-star rating after five-star rating. From Amazon:
Here's the website for the book: Signature in the Cell by Stephen C. Meyer
The author, Cambridge graduate Stephen C. Meyer, is nothing short of amazing. Dawkins and many other well-known supporters of Victorian era junk science (Darwinism) are absolutely terrified of this guy and most refuse to debate him.
Watch/Listen to any of the following and you'll not only have a much better understanding of the greatest scientific revolution of our time (if not all time), but you'll also see just how brilliant the man is and why he's so feared by so many:
(Meyer thoroughly explains what I.D. is beginning at around the eight-minute mark of the previous video)
Here he is eviscerating 'skeptic' Michael Shermer again (this guy's Meyer's personal whipping boy).
Chris Mooney gets perhaps the worst intellectual beat-down yet. To his credit he seemed to realize he was in way over his head and decided to play suck-up.
The Signature website also has links to many other of Meyer's debates/presentations. I'd also recommend anything from Jonathan Wells, David Berlinski and Behe's literature is some of the most in-depth science you'll read.
Either way, if you going to learn of I.D., make sure you learn about it from its proponents and not it's dishonest opponents.

Signature in the Cell is a defining work in the discussion of life's origins . . . the powerful case Meyer presents cannot be ignored in any honest debate. . . [T]his book is an engaging, eye-opening, and often eye-popping read
Product Description
One hundred fifty years ago, Charles Darwin revolutionized biology, but did he refute intelligent design (ID)? In Signature in the Cell, Stephen Meyer argues that he did not.
Much confusion surrounds the theory of intelligent design. Frequently misrepresented by the media, politicians, and local school boards, intelligent design can be defended on purely scientific grounds in accordance with the same rigorous methods that apply to every proposed origin-of-life theory.
Signature in the Cell is the first book to make a comprehensive case for intelligent design based upon DNA. Meyer embarks on an odyssey of discovery as he investigates current evolutionary theories and the evidence that ultimately led him to affirm intelligent design. Clearly defining what ID is and is not, Meyer shows that the argument for intelligent design is not based on ignorance or "giving up on science," but instead upon our growing scientific knowledge of the information stored in the cell.
A leading proponent of intelligent design in the scientific community, Meyer presents a compelling case that will generate heated debate, command attention, and find new adherents from leading scientists around the world.

Debate With Peter Ward at Talk of the Times (TVW)[/b])
The rematch, a debate with Meyer and Ward addressing each other’s arguments for intelligent design and evolution (or not, respectively). Reporters and columnists especially should listen to this, as a real debate by scientists on the science of Darwinian evolution is almost as rare as life in the universe.
(Meyer thoroughly explains what I.D. is beginning at around the eight-minute mark of the previous video)
Debate With Michael Ruse on Ben Wattenberg’s Think Tank (PBS)
Think Tank Part 1)
Think Tank Part 2)
Ben Wattenberg moderates this matchup with Darwinist Michael Ruse, who was also featured in the movie Expelled. This debate gets into the philosophical implications of design and Darwinism and the distinctions between the scientific evidence and the implications for both theories.
Debate with Michael Shermer on Faith Under Fire
Dr. Stephen Meyer on Faith Under Fire)
Dr. Meyer addresses Michael Shermer’s objections to intelligent design, including “Who designed the designer?” Also features their discussion on the existence of design in nature.
Here he is eviscerating 'skeptic' Michael Shermer again (this guy's Meyer's personal whipping boy).
Chris Mooney gets perhaps the worst intellectual beat-down yet. To his credit he seemed to realize he was in way over his head and decided to play suck-up.
