I'd suggest combing through this forum on Intelligent Design arguments (pro/con). You can find a lot of good arguments/examples, though I must say ID does not have many ardent supporters here.
There is an official website for ID:
Discovery Institute | Public policy think tank advancing a culture of purpose, creativity, and innovation.
You will find some of the lead proponents of ID discussing their theory on it. But if you want to read a complete discussion (directly from them), you'll have to buy their books. The key books are Darwin's Blackbox (Behe), Icons of Evolution (Wells), and just about anything by William Dembski. If you want evidence from science, and not purely mathematics, read Behe.
I'd suggest going to a bookstore, or library, and looking for collections of scientific discussions on ID. One of the better ones is by Robert Pennock (at least I think it's robert).
I should add that there is a vast difference between the origin of life (abiogenesis) and the origin of species (evolution). ID theorists do not seem to have decided which subject ID refers to (or if it covers both). This is one of its many weaknesses. Make sure to keep an eye on which subject an ID argument is addressing while reading.
