I link that sometimes when discussing with young earth creationists.

Collins is seen as a "compromiser" by evangelicals and accused of still trying to marry science and faith by non-believers, so he's fighting a war on two fronts.

Collins doesn't believe in god-guided evolution though, more god-initiated.

So like gravity god created gravity but doesn't intervene in the motions of the planets constantly rather just lets gravity do its thing, same with evolution, god established evolution but doesn't tweak and guide things, just lets it take it's course. That's how I understand Collins' view anyway (I have his book, but haven't fully read it yet, I lent it out), I could have it wrong.
I'll check out the website. I know what Collins believes but didn't describe it well. I've read The Language of God and have listened to the audio book twice.
