Here's a serious question regarding nonintervention, from genuine wondering on my part. It seems to me there are different forms of theistic evolution with respect to intervention, which might be characterised as:

1. E.g. speciation "download" (significant interventions; detectable)
2. Nudging the molecules (subtle interventions; detectable in principle)
3. Quantum event loading (probabilistic interventions; undetectable?)
4. Pure front-loading (initial intervention only; undetectable)

 I take issue with your nomenclature. Those items (1-4) are not forms of theistic anything. They are forms of unknown superpower intervention. Even if one of those scenarios is fact, there is no reason to say that the actor behind it is a god.
 

I'm okay with "God" equals "unknown superpower" for the purpose of this discussion.
