Though physics, and particularly cosmology, does.
And as we've seen in this thread, unfortunately some people, be they religious zealots or ardent atheists, seem to conflate the two areas of enquiry (i.e. the notion that the "big bang" is somehow connected to evolutionary theory), or alternatively conflate all "science" as a monolithic entity standing in defiance of the opposing monolith of "religion".
If that's what he's getting at, then... okay man, yeah, some people are dumb, or ignorant, or haven't thought about this enough to understand it. That isn't really relevant to the discussion, though.
