She would be viewed as an authority on the subject to her students. The students might think she knows something as an explanation to for her view.

It is part of her god belief.  It says in the Bible that God created the earth.  If she believes in the God of the Bible, what do you expect her to say for how the earth started?

My teacher was explaining how there is alot of evidence for the big bang and how that's most likely how the universe began. Somebody in my class asked her "Do you believe that God made earth and all living things or do you believe the universe began after the big bang". To which she answered "I believe that God made earth in 6 days". I was going to question her reasoning but I just couldn't be bothered as alot of people in my class think I'm some kind of weird satanist for not believing in God. I just facepalmed so hard. I mean she has a masters degree in physics and explains how the big bang is true but then goes on to say how she's a creationist. I wouldn't give a shit if she said that she believes in God, but seriously, a physics teacher a creationist! I even told my Mum who is a catholic and she even laughed at the teacher and called her stupid.

Yeah but did she say it really sarcastically?

No, the Catholic church actually came to acknowledge the Big Bang theory as well as evolution. They only perform mental acrobatics to align it with god. Which can be observed in the OP statement.

Could be worse, could be an evangelical school, teaching pure and undiluted creationist bullshit.
