Evolution

Most serious? You mean Protestants? Protestants aren't more serious than any other faith and are a minority in terms of global religions.
Catholicism, Hinduism, and Islam are the three largest religions in the world. All Christian religions are based off Catholicism or Christians religions that are based of Catholicism. Catholicism is also regarded as one of the most conservative faiths in the world. Which collectively is probably why Catholicism is the largest Christian denomination worldwide.
Like 46% of Americans believe in creationism but that has to do with them being from 'Merica and/or Protestant.

No, I mean the world's religions. Not tiny splinter groups confined to one area.

It's really more of an American thing. Even Egypt, currently known for its Muslim Brotherhood theocracy, teaches evolution as factual in its biology curricula.

Catholicism is the largest international Christian denomination. Catholic means universal, there are catholics in basically every continent. You just called the majority portion of Christians a minority. 1.1 billion people are Catholic.
Like Charles said, Muslims are to a large degree teach evolution and Hindus support it. That's basically the majority of the Earth's population.

For evolution, I believe a great deal of it is true. Certainly us evolving from a more primitive man is extremely plausible, but the hard part to comprehend is how a single atom could grow or combine to the point of creating any species which can further grow. Closest i can think of is something like Spore (evolving into an animal from a fuckin protozoa) but shit, it's just hard to picture the process.

That's incorrect. You need organic matter. As for origins of life, scientists have found proteins (amino acids) on asteroids that land on earth, and have conducted experiments to show that, given the conditions of a young earth, these amino acids can foster more complex forms of life. The science is all there, really. Quite a few scientific papers on it.

The Big Bang didn't come from nothing. It came from energy being converted into matter/antimatter. Which we've replicated in labs, and is modeled by the ever-popular E=MC^2

I imagine string theory explains the initial existence of energy, but I've never looked into it. I've never researched science beyond that point except for the limitations of potential energy.

The common analogy is the universe was infinitely condensed to a ball the size of a pea, but that's just speculation, hinted at by the maths :p As for string theory, it does, but string theory (which has since been refined in to slightly alternate theories like m-theory) is really just a mathematical framework. I think it's a bit premature to use it to draw any serious conclusions.
