You didn't cite reading Fiske, but if you have, you haven't understood him, and certainly you show no evidence that you have read him. Neither have you read Darwin's last works, the ones he spent the last decades of his life working on, and the ones he was busy writing while others were organizing his old notes for edited hand picked trifles such as you prefer to consider most important to him.
But, you have answered my question as to whether or not your faith was as strong as Darwin's. It is clearly not. You have time though to learn. Hopefully a great deal of it.

I haven't read Fiske, only about him. Darwin's last book was about earthworms, and Darwin was most definitely NOT a man of "faith," except in his youth and young adulthood, as he himself made perfectly and explicitly clear. I have no idea what works (by Darwin) you are referring to. Possibly they were written by the author on the grassy knoll?

Most of Darwin's writings have long been available in COMPLETE AND UNEXPURGIATED editions for many years (the largest job, a complete edition of his correspondence, is well along with many volumes published), and the originals, in Darwin's own hand, have been available to scholars for decades.
