[asa] Has a Christian Evolutionist written this yet?

Hi all-

 Does anyone know of a book that someone has written that basically
explains that God uses evolution as his design means? I mean, that God
is actively engaged in messing with DNA code as a programmer writing
computer code, not simply just starting it all off at the big bang, as
Howard Van Till would say. I'm thinking of a combination of Intelligent
Design (not ID as it is now) with Evolution. Basically, the conclusion
is drawn from:

1. Evolution is too unlikely as to have happened naturally (ex.
anthropic principle & origin of life mysteries).
2. Genome evidence shows evolution happened (ex. pseudogenes).
3. Therefore, evolution happened supernaturally.

 I would call the position "Christian Evolution," and a follower a
"Christian Evolutionist." It is the Christian faith combined with
evolution... I hope that isn't syncretistic.

 Atheists may say that "evolution is an unguided process of creating
more complex life-forms from simpler," but the Christian Evolutionist
can say it is the "guided" process. Then a tough question would be "if
God is guiding it, then why is there so much disease and bad genes?"
Good one.
