Evolution Vs. Creation

Charles Darwin the father of evolution made a theory that humans animals, and all living thing have evolve for other living things in the past. Natural selection is when species have traits that they use for their advantage. Ever generation they have more traits to help them survive.
My opinion on this is that I don’t believe in evolution I believe in creation everyone was created for a purpose. The reason why I believe in creation because am a Muslim and I was grown up to believe that there a god and he created everything on earth. I get how Darwin say that humans evolve from apes because we kind of look like them they have thumbs and there the only type of animals that have thumbs like humans. When I about how Darwin thinks we came from apes when they have small brains but us we have bigger brains than apes so we are smarter. Then you think harder about Darwin theory is good and bad at the same time.
