Essentially a synonym for Theistic Evolution, but sometimes emphasizing God's ongoing, intimate role in the process more strongly. It asserts that evolution is true, but it is God's creative mode. The focus is on "creation" as the continuous, purposeful action of God through natural means, rather than a one-time event. It's the theological position that tries to have its scientific cake and eat it devotionally too.
Example: "The Evolutionary Creationist Sunday school teacher used evolutionary trees to teach about God's providence. 'See this branch? That's where God, working through natural selection, began the line that would lead to creatures capable of knowing and loving Him.' The kids were cool with it; the elders were nervous."

It argues for identifiable, divinely engineered interventions at key points (like the Cambrian Explosion or the origin of consciousness) within the evolutionary timeline. It's not Young Earth Creationism, but it still insists on detectable "design signatures" in the genetic code or fossil record, a claim mainstream evolutionary biology vehemently rejects.
Example: "He argued for Evolutionary Intelligent Design, claiming the genetic code was 'front-loaded' with information for future body plans. 'Evolution is the car,' he'd say, 'but God installed the GPS with the destination pre-programmed.' Biologists replied that the car built its own GPS on the road." Evolutionary Intelligent Design
