One of them physically unsubstantiated, other one both physically and spiritually.Both are unfortunately are unsubstantiated hypothesis for the history of the earth. life and our physical existence.
So, how exactly does understanding Darwinism help you evolve? Are you suggesting the adoption of eugenics programs or what?...than Creationism.
Not only Darwinism answers many of our questions rationally but makes us closer to nature, because we do understand what we were (animals) and that we need to better ourselves. To evolve.
Creationism is dangerous because it says we don't need improvement.
On the contrary ... it demands we improve ourselves morally.Creationism is dangerous because it says we don't need improvement.
In Europe the theory of evolution is inculcated in little children's mind as if it were the Bible.On the contrary ... it demands we improve ourselves morally.

Darwinism is a 19th century relic that has long been overshadowed by better science.
Darwinism is rather primitive and racist, and while it helped boost the scientific method, modern scientists don't much bother with it any more.
I avoid the terms Darwinism and Neo-Darwinism, because it encourages a personality cult
OEC is streamline theory,it explains beginning of inorganic and organic matter, life and consciousness, reason why we exist.
Darwin was a European Christian from a top colonial power.
Of course he was racist. Almost all of them were.

I know it is a quote...but please do blur the N word.No branch of science is intended to be a moral guidepost for anything.
I think you conflate the works of Darwin to those who attempted to use his discoveries for unsavory purposes, such as Herbert Spencer (Social Darwinism), Francis Galton (Eugenics) and various proponents of Scientific Racism or polygenism. In fact, it was Darwin himself who introduced Monogenism.
As well as conflating the aforementioned perversions and misapplications of his discoveries ....
It explains nothing. It takes explanations given by science then is absorbed into the religion and invokes god.
Yes, he was.
And no, he wasn't.
As with the current beliefs in his time, and is expressed in his writings, Darwin considered non-Caucasian races as inferior. This influenced his philosophies, but did not seem to influence his scientific research.
Darwin (and most of his family) were also ardent anti-slavery and also seemed to believe that all humans should be well treated, even the inferior ones.
For his time, he was quite progressive in his views on race.
In a letter to his sister Catherine Darwin, 22 May [– 14 July] 1833, from his travels in Brazil:
I have watched how steadily the general feeling, as shown at elections, has been rising against Slavery.— What a proud thing for England, if she is the first Europæan nation which utterly abolishes it.— I was told before leaving England, that after living in Slave countries: all my opinions would be altered; the only alteration I am aware of is forming a much higher estimate of the Negros character. — it is impossible to see a negro & not feel kindly towards him; such cheerful, open honest expressions & such fine muscular bodies; I never saw any of the diminutive Portuguese with their murderous countenances, without almost wishing for Brazil to follow the example of Hayti.

God created the heavens
and the earth
and the earth was a cloud and ocean world
and the skies cleared
and continents rose
and life emerged on the land
and then in the sea
and finally man.
All narrated in symbolic and theological language.
Sounds okay with me. How about you?
I'm not sure why it has to be Darwinism (Evolution) or Creationism? I think it is likely that it could be either or both or neither.
Christianity probably would be better off as a religion if it had changed and adjusted with the times...
Christianity cannot change and adjust
Creationist don't say, we don't need improvement, but we do need improvement.
I believe you got it backwards.

What I don't agree with, at all, is the idea of how evolution is about "making ourselves better" or anything even only remotely like that.

It's a nice story. But it has very little to do with actual history as far as I can see.
