In my youth I came to accept evolution as a fact. But after reading a
book by Dr Michael Denton, on a challenge, I began to question the
"evidence" for evolution and that's where I am today.
When forming my own views on a subject, I always make an effort to
understand the various views on the subject. For example, on my
bookshelf, 'The Selfish Gene' by Richard Dawkins sits alongside his
'God Delusion'; Jerry Coyne's 'Why Evolution is True' sits alongside
his ' Faith Versus Fact'; Francis Collins's 'The Language of God' sits
alongside Stephen Meyer's 'God Hypothesis'.
What books or authors have you read you that argue against Intelligent
Design?

I love reading, especially Science Fiction books + movies. I've read:
The Blind Watchmaker - Dawkins
the God Delusion -Dawkins
The language of Life - Collins
and 2 or 3 others, 25+ years ago - the titles I do not recall, but one was justifying faith in Christ another the history of Christianity. But I've also read, The Book of Mormon, and Joseph Smith, Books both positive and critical of the man. Also Mary Baker Eddy 's Christian Healer. And I've been entertained a few times over the years by Mormon missionaries. I'm not a regular Church attender, but I do go from time to time. My wife is Methodist, so when I do go, it's to a Methodist Church. But never their Sunday School. The United Methodist Church is a liberal Denomination.
Do you ever attend any Church services?
