Alright, I'm going to tell you Scientology's position on human evolution (and no, I swear on my life, this is NOT a joke)...
L. Ron Hubbard, the founder and "prophet" of Scientology, stated that humans evolved from clams.
Again... I am NOT kidding.

Considering that Scientology is against any use of medicine, and that the Theory of Evolution (which has advanced quite a bit since Darwin, buddy) is the cornerstone of modern biology and ultimately responsible for the vast majority of medicine we have today...
No, they're pretty much at odds with each other.

Evolutionary theory deals with a biological mechanism so no they are like chalk and cheese. Creationism and scientology are the same thing-a lot of weird and wonderful fantasy.

No, one advocates an alien overlord imprisoned souls on earth and used hydrogen bombs or something insane like that and evolution is the change in a population's inherited traits from generation to generation. These traits are encoded as genes that are copied and passed on to offspring during reproduction. Mutations and other random changes in these genes can produce new or altered traits, resulting in inheritable differences (genetic variation) between organisms. Evolution occurs when these differences become more common or rare in a population. This either happens through natural selection, which is caused by differences in the reproductive value of the traits, or randomly through genetic drift.

Social Darwinism is what you describe it as, whether, your undeniable fact that Hitler did no longer have faith in evolution seems absurd. i think of I remember analyzing in the definitive biography of Hitler by skill of John Toland, that Hitler claimed that the Aryan race replaced into the utmost manufactured from evolution.

Evolution is science. Based in fact and evidence.
Scientology is fiction. Based in fantasy and imagination.
Understand the difference now?

Evolution is science, scientology is science fiction.

Not as far as I'm aware - one's a religion based on fable, the other is a scientific discipline based on fact.

They are both attempts at discovering human origin. One is a guess and the other is supported by evidence.

One is religion, the other is science - and there's no such thing as "darwinism".
