I understand your point. Collins certainly does believe that God created the universe and established natural laws, in which he sees Darwinian evolution as part of those laws. He believes that God knew, not determined, the final out come, man. I differ with him on how much God intervened in the process, and I do not believe that God simply peeked into the future without some teological intervention. Nevertheless, Collins makes a persuasive argument for theistic evolution.

You may be a person who would find this interesting:
"....All of these problems with the left hijacking science were recognized by my favorite philosopher, Michael Polanyi, as early as the mid-1940s. .... Although his writings are free of any overt religiosity, I find that they most adequately support my view of a universe that is both absolute and evolving, as it must be; or evolving toward an Absolute that is orthoparadoxically both its origin and its destiny, alpha and omega (more on which below).
