Definitely, it does seem like a contradiction.
Because hasn't christianity always advocated for creationism...?

Hello! Good for you for challenging yourself and seeking knowledge. I would like to point out to you something of great importance.
Christianity is not an ism, nor a religion, nor is it a philosophy. Christianity is spiritual state of being. One becomes a Christian when, by an act of the Holy Spirit of God, God takes up residence in one's spirit. The result of this happening is a new spiritual awareness. One realizes that God is real, Jesus is Who He says He is. He did what He said He did. (He took the punishment for our sins and rose from the dead (a historical fact) to prove it. When we are drawn to Him, repent of our sins,and turn from our will, and follow Him, this happens to us. Jesus called this being "born again". This is the beginning of a new life for all those to whom this is given. It's exciting. Don't bother persuing philosophys of truth until you have this experience. Truth is spiritually discerned, you will have the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal all things to you. God bless you in your search for Him (truth).
