There is no evidence to prove darwinism(evolution) created life or man and man produced CO2 is or will be driving global warming. First, evolution is not about what created life, it is about what created man. The mechanistic theory of how life started is called Abiogenesis and is outside of evolution. Second, there is a mountain of evidence that man shares a common ancestor with the Great Apes, and indeed, with all other living things on the planet. The extent of evidence for this is very much the same as the evidence for AGW. In both cases, you can't "prove" it in the sense that a denier can always claim that some magic happens which just makes things look this way, and you can't rule the magic out. Fine. But scientists are not interested in fantasy, so they make progress sans the fantasy objections. When people doubt evolution they are grasping at straws which allow them to ignore the whole tapestry which is hanging before their eyes. When people doubt AGW, they are doing the same thing.
