I think there are two ways to look at it.
Darwin used observation to discover how creatures changed depending on their surroundings ,he didn't fabricate scenarios to support the theory, he used real life evidence.
I don't see why God would not want creatures to improve and adapt once they were in existence.
Many people only look at the ape to man part of the theory but really,this is about everything from viruses and upwards and we know that viruses change from one generation to the next,I think there is enough evidence in favor of Darwin's theory but that isn't to say life was not introduced by God to begin with.

I guest you are right but why the could you associate god with darwin. His theory oppose directly the creation of man describe in the bible and in the quran.

you have to look at the description of the creation of man and everything else as symbolic in my opinion.
It is like saying 'I made a cake' but not saying how because why would you need to describe all the small details leading to the outcome? who else is going to follow those directions? God being the ultimate creator would not have any other being greater than he is and so there is no need to write instructions. Therefore evolution of beings is part of the outcome .It doesn't disclaim god for having produced life but it must accept that he would expect life to grow and improve upon itself, it just makes the creation that much more spectacular .
Its a bit like a person having a child. The child grows up and changes and hopefully becomes their own person ,not just the product of their parent.

Darwinist states the theory of evolution among creature. They say that animals and humans might have been evolve from time. One of there evidence that, there are animals animals before that are similar of today or they share some common characteristics physically based on the fossils they found. They theorized that these animals might have been evolved within the span of time and change its physical appearance.
This arguments could also be true, but at the same time could also be wrong. It is true because it could be possibly happen but these argument can also be reputed by the theory of extinction whereby, those animals before really exist and trough time they became extinct and gone. They vanish on earth not because of evolution but brought possibly by extinction.
Whatever the truth is, whether man came from ape or not,still we cannot argue the fact that there is god who created those apes and the universe.
