Good comment.

My underlying point is that evolution appears to propose humanity is an accident. To the extent that it does, I see a conflict with religion.

I believe - now that I skimmed over the broad outline of what theistic evolution is - the people I spoke to believed in theistic evolution rather than ID.

However, if humanity is deigned not an accident, I wonder ultimately how that comports with scientific understanding of evolution.

Keep in mind that science does not understand evolution perfectly yet. While it may be correct as far as the understanding goes, I don’t believe anything in it precludes design. I don’t believe it even addresses the concept of design (could be wrong on this one).
