The notion of a deity causing the process of evolution by natural selection is referred to as 'theistic evolution'. However, it is often called 'evolutionary creationism' if the concept of God as Creator is wanted to be emphasised. There are many different types however; some believe that God caused the laws which subsequently govern the natural world and the evolution process; others believe that God continually sustains the process and shapes its future. The former is a bit like God winding up a pocket watch and then letting it work independently; the latter is more like God writing on a piece of paper - if He stops writing, the process will stop; it is continuous activity.
