[asa] An evolution quiz question about "Scientific creationism "

I thought I'd pass on something interesting. I have this "book" (study
guide):

"The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers
with Explanations" Copyright 2005

Comments about this part? The following is a quote... question and
comment by author:

Pg. 6
25. Patterns of change among different groups of species over a certain
time period is most closely referred to as:

 a. microevolution
*b. macroevolution
 c. scientific creationism
 d. survival of the fittest

Microevolution shows how a specific population changes over time due to
modifications in allele frequencies. Scientific creationism is a belief
that the beginning of earth and life was created by God. Also,
scientific creationism does not believe in Darwin's theory of evolution.

Bernie's comment:
It is interesting how the author uses "Scientific creationism" to
describe what I think we would term as "young earth creationism."

It says:
"Scientific creationism is a belief that the beginning of earth and life
was created by God." But all creationists believe that God created
everything- even TE's which accept evolution.

I guess I have to give it credit for at least saying something- some of
the questions have no comments, but the author felt compelled in this
one to give a little explanation.
