Darwin was a creationist in the sense that he thought that God created the first living things:
There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved.
Charles Darwin The Origin of Species 1872
He was a Christian when he wrote his book, but late in life, remarked that he was "leaning toward agnosticism."
