Is it true that Catholicism teaches the first 11 chapters of Genesis as nothing but stories?

I heard this on R & S. That's news to me. Catholics please help me with this question. Someone said Catholics are taught that nothing in those chapters of the Bible is historical truth. They said Catholics do not believe in the Garden of Eden and what happened there. They said Catholics are taught that the theory of evolution is true. I want to know the truth of this from Catholics.
