I remain convinced that you're trying to have it both ways. It's not only oxymoronic but borders on deism as per the Dictionary.com definition of deism.
I haven't put on my TE hat in a long time, but let's see if it still fits . . .
The one analogy that worked for me in my TE days was the lottery. When someone would win the lottery they would often claim that God was behind it, that God had blessed them. This is not a statement on numbered ping-pong balls magically poofing from nothing. In fact, no one could ever show that the results were anything but random. However, one is still free to believe that God played a part in it. That belief is separate from any demonstration of the non-random nature of the lottery.
This is how TE works. God is behind it, but it can never be shown in a scientific sense. From a natural view of life, evolution is all that is necessary just as the random movement of the ping pong balls was all that was necessary to describe the outcome of the lottery.
Hope that helps a little bit.
