It's been a while since I posted. Been busy with Hurricanes, field work and travel (posting from Finland this evening). Anyway, I'll give you my definition of theistic evolution (as I mean it). I simply mean that God set up the universe in such a manner as to allow for evolution as a driver for biologic change. God does not interfere in the process (ala ID as I see it); there is no such thing as irreducible complexity because God did not put up barriers that would require his interference. So, I guess it depends on how one views TE, but mine is pretty much hands off. I suppose one could argue that my stance does away with the need for a God once things got rolling and I think that's true as far as the natural world is concerned. Ideally, we do the same thing in that we would hope our 'inventions' would run perfectly forever once we make it. We're not all that good at perfecting systems so are required to tinker. If God is perfect and set things up to work as it does, there is no need for him/her to tinker. Anyway, that's how I see it.
