Luke, friend, why so hard on the old man? Hey, would you be so kind to point me to the book/source that can answer those 3 questions? I would greatly appreciate it. Peace!
This would be a start for me to consider the allegations of evolution. At the moment, I'm going to stick to the Bible's teaching. Although, there are many a great minds whom also agree with intellgent design.

...the
allegations of evolution?
...seeing as so-called "Intelligent Design" is merely an evolutionary adaption of "Literal Creationism"; it seems you already accept, understand and implement evolution.
After all, you guys sent "Literal Creationism" out into the world, but it got beat down... beat down bad... so you let it have babies, all slightly different but keeping what worked: "Intelligent Design"; "Metaphorical Creationism"; "Symbolic Creationism"; "Allegorical Creationism" etc etc etc
Only "Intelligent Design" could put up a fight, so you guys jumped on it.
That's evolution in practice.
All sarcasm aside... if you are really interested in understanding evolution there are several steps you can take:
1- Read a second book... reading is good, why stop with the Bible?
2- Take an IQ test... if it's less than 90 go back to the Bible and read no further.
3- Take a critical thinking class
4- Get a highschool education
5- Take some introductory general science courses
6- Take an introductory biology course
7- Read an introductory biology textbook
8- Read up on the Theory of Evolution
9- Read "On the Origins of Species (By Means of Natural Selection)" by Charles Darwin
10- Make up your own mind
