To me this says that God was a driving force behind evolution. I don't think I'm misinterpreting this article, and this is only one place where you can see this view of theistic evolution expressed. Under this definition, ID is a form of theistic evolution, and Joe Meert and Ken Miller are definitely not theistic evolutionists.
Most theists think that God is the driving force behind everything, planets as much as mutations. The important distinction is between those who think (or suspect, or assume) that the history of life can be explained in terms of the same processes that we can see elsewhere in nature and those who don't. Traditional creationists (YEC and OEC) and almost all IDists (or perhaps more accurately, all IDists almost all of the time) fall into the second camp. Theistic evolutionists, including Miller (and me) fall into the first camp.
