Darwin's theory of evolution

In France the Darwin's theory of evolution is taught early (before highschool). So what I remember are these few things...

This theroy don't put god into the center. For Darwin, we were all animals and during the time we all evoluated. He's the man who said that we were all monkey.
This theory was a real revolution because it was the first time that somebody opposed himself to the divine creation.

Am I right?
