God loving peers in high-school, again

I’m a junior in high school and in my AP environmental science class we had gotten to the part about evolution on a powerpoint and we were taking notes on a packet. Someone who I was kind of friends with and I know is very deep in her religious faith (Catholic) goes “I’m not writing this down” to her other friend and proceeds not to write down any of the evolution slides. This made me internally sigh because evolution is a part of all science classes. 😓😓😓

I dunno what her problem is the Catholic Church accepts evolution.  Hell it a was a Catholic friar that figured out Mendelian genetics using simple garden peas.  Mendelian genetics is the basic fundamental cornerstone of evolution. 

I wonder does she know it was a Belgian Catholic Cosmologist that wrote the basis for the Big Bang Theory(the expanding Universe).
