Contrary to what the author may have heard, the Theory of Evolution actually doesn't teach that life came from the Big Bang. Evolution deals solely with the... well, evolving... of life from one form to another, not with the origins of life. There are scientific hypotheses that do suggest possibilities about the origins of life, but they are not part of the Theory of Evolution.
I think what the author meant was that the two usually go hand in hand. Except for some theistic evolution theories, people who believe in evolution usually believe in the Big Bang, both of them being materialistic/naturalistic theories (i.e. a way to explain the universe without supernatural causation).
