Are we all here by an act of God, or by an act of evolution?

Was Charles Darwin right with his Theory of Evolution, or does the book of Genesis tell the whole truth of how the human race came to inhabit this planet?

According to Darwin and the world of science the earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago but according to the ancient religious scribes humans have only been here approximately 7 to 8,000 years. What sounds the most plausible?
