I suggest you spend a little time on the critiques of evolution's strengths and weaknesses, and its underlying assumptions, before you settle on

"It's good enough for me."

As noted above, there is a lot of solid evidence supporting natural selection, and adaptation of the species. The mechanisms of speciation are still somewhat unclear, given that the agency of mutation or change is not always traceable.

This is a good thing, for research scientists, since it gives them a lot of area to work on, to explore and discover "how it works."

Intelligent Design, if it isn't merely a smoke screen for Creationism, has a whole lot further to go, and a lot of evidence to uncover to support it, if it wants to catch up with the century and a half of work that has gone into various branches of biology and zoology and botany that have based their research on the theory of evolution being valid.

The major problem of ID as I see it is trying to prove agency. (Evolution is in a similar boat on initial conditions). It might take a miracle . . . ;)
