In case you'd like to hear it again, in a different dress. Now the term 'Total Evolution' is being used by ASA on its education page. These are not creationists using such language, but TE/ECs!
Craig Rusbult (Chemistry, History of Science, Curriculm Studies) writes: "In theistic evolution, usually "evolution" means a Total Evolution of everything — with astronomical evolution (to form galaxies and solar systems) and geological evolution (to form the earth's geology) plus chemical evolution (to form the first life) and biological evolution (for the development of life) — but it can mean only biological evolution."

Notice also that the 'everything' referenced is really only 'everything natural' and not 'everthing else'!

I suppose that term was coined to give it some air of credibility or status.
