You have just described "Intelligent Design", which is what most people believe in.

"Intelligent design" is a subset of theistic evolution, but the two are not identical.

People who believe in Intelligent Design believe that God steps in every so often to tweak things in order to get them to come out the way He wants them to come out.

IDers don't believe that man physically evolved from a common ancestor as the apes (leaving out completely the issue of man's spirit, soul, and consciousness). They don't believe that one species evolved from another. From my perspective, I don't think ID is evolution, at all.
