My high school biology teacher taught us about evolution. It was in a Catholic HS and this particular teacher was a Marist Brother with a strong belief in God and of Jesus as Savior. My church separates science from religion. Faith need not have anything to do with science and vice versa.

The father of the big bang theory himself was a Jesuit Priest doing science in the Vatican. Geogres Lamaitre. The term "big bang" was to be applied later, he described it as a "primordial atom"

It may be of interest that the big bang was resisted because it implies a moment of creation, which is a rather difficult thing to reconcile with atheism. Lamaitre himself assured naturalistic colleagues that they could find a way to reconcile the theory with naturalism...although for myself I find such reconciliation very problematic.
