It is important to filter the notions and facts you study. If these are against or conflict with God, the Bible, Christ and Orthodoxy, then you should just understand them and study them as an aspect of knowledge. You will have to write them well, knowing they are wrong you don't believe what they teach you, but you have to answer the exam questions the best possible way. This does not mean or prove you accept them, just proves you studied well and then move forward. You may later get the opportumity to correct them, hopefully.
It's the knowledge and study of theories that aren't settled yet and need more research. You don't accept them as true and you won't spread them to others without criticism. When you know them you can debate on good basis (knowledge is power here).
Above, I meant just aspects of knowledge and nothing otherwise.
Scientology is the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, others and all of life. The Scientology religion comprises a body of knowledge extending from certain fundamental truths. Prime among these:
Man is an immortal, spiritual being. His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime. His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized — and those capabilities can be realized. He is able to not only solve his own problems, accomplish his goals and gain lasting happiness, but also achieve new, higher states of awareness and ability.
In Scientology no one is asked to accept anything as belief or on faith. That which is true for you is what you have observed to be true. An individual discovers for himself that Scientology works by personally applying its principles and observing or experiencing results.

scientology is a religion by itself... and it has nothing to do with the big bang... or any of these theories!
evolutionism is what you're looking for... but for us as Christians... we dont believe in evolutionism... but rather we believe in evolution...
check these sermons...

Yes, I know it sounds absolutely ridiculous, and I didn't even start with the story of how the thetans got to earth (it involves aliens and intergalactic battles... ;D).
As for evolution, I know that there is nothing wrong with micro evolution (evolution within a species, such as neanderthal to man, or mammoth to elephant, as that is why we have different skin tones like white, light brown, darker brown etc...). It is macro evolution that the church does not believe in (ie, monkey to man).
To be perfectly honest, I fell asleep in the 9th grade science lessons regarding the Big Bang, so I'm not entirely sure what it's all about...but I remember not being offended by it, or it saying something that sounded contradictory to the Bible, but I also remember doing rather poorly on that test, so I may have misunderstood it :D :P.
