I do not know of its being a major faith-science issue, but the theological objections to a steady-state universe seem to be corroborated by the evidence for some sort of Big Bang model.
It should also be kept in mind that sometimes the Church has advocated modern science and the secular opposed it, with the latter coming out in the wrong. One such incident launched Ben Franklin's publishing career, at least as figurehead. His brother was forbidden to publish for making fun of church support for the novel idea of vaccination.
