This is utter nonsense. The Theory of Evolution has been around for over 150 years, and it's still going strong. Theories do adjust various details as new evidence is discovered, but in order to make the transition from hypothesis to theory, there must be demonstrated robust predictive ability. The foundation thus established is not likely to be shatterred any time soon, certainly not in a mere 30 years.
Einstein's Theory of Relativity is still with us as well. Certain details have been shown to be wrong, but the foundation itself - the idea that everything in the observable Universe is made of the same "stuff," and that time, speed, mass and energy are relative to one-another - is solid, and still providing useful and correct predictions.
Your friend has been feeding on bullshit from the pulpit. i spent years as a Christian, and I came to realize that Pastors will repeat anything they hear from a "trusted source" that supports Christianity. They don't bother to cross-check their facts, they simply assume that if a Good Christian ™ told them, it must be true. This is the difference between religion and science: Science has the courage and honesty to continually check its facts and correct them if they're wrong. Religion merely makes up facts to support their conclusions, and never admits mistakes.
