Well, Darwinism doesn't explain Creation but delves into how the Species (plural) evolved. Christianity actually has two stories of Creation in the Book of Genesis. The first says that Man (& Woman) were created from the clay (or slime, depending on the particular version) of the Earth. The second says that God Created Adam and took a rib from his side to Create the woman Eve.
Native Americans have super interesting stories of Creation, such as how The Great Spirit first Created all Animals including Man. Their mythology is worth a read if you are interested in that sort of thing. The Apocryphal Book the Alphabet of Ben Sirah speaks of Lilith, alledgedly Adam's 'first' wife, also a good read if you are interested in Creation stories.
Good luck.

Life was merely a coincidence. There right substances all formed together and eventually created life. At first, life was nothing but a bunch of bateria running around. The bacteria then spread out and began to evolve as necessary to survive in their habitat. This process took millions and millions of years (remember, the earth is billions of years old). The earth is covered by more than seventy percent water so it is highly likely that the first lifeforms came from the sea. As for the initial start of life, like I said, it was probably a mere coincidence that the right materials were all in the same place. Perhaps a storm provided an electrical jumpstart to the process.
The beginning of our planet is another story. I believe that our planet was nothing more than a large, slow moving meteor that got caught in the sun's gravitional pull. When it first began orbiting the sun, it was covered in a lot of ice that melted to form the oceans.
