It's ironic, but catholocism is much more liberal and friendly toward science (Papal papers have both said Evolution and the Big Bang are A-Okay) whereas the protestant evangelical Christian movement that is more associated with this in North America is the one that is more recalcitrant and conservative regarding these things. They are much less open minded regarding evolution and take a more literal reading of the Bible. If the Bible says God made man on the 6th day, than we can't have evolved from monkey's etc.
