I agree Dennett says that - I regard that as a separate point, though. I'm also not sure he's correct, but that's largely because I think theistic evolution covers a broad spectrum of options from 'God and evolution can coexist and I believe in them both' through to 'evolution only works because God is constantly intervening to make sure that it does'. It's only the latter end of the spectrum that (to me) necessarily misses the point of what evolution is all about, but to be fair to Dennett IIRC it's that end that he attacks.
I may need to go and re-read the book before discussing this further, though, as it is a while since I read it.
