N. proclaimed the death of God as you say.
As for Darwin, N. made the case for Darwin inadvertantly thru applying much of Darwin's theory to social rather than biological behavior.

You wrote, "N. made the case for Darwin inadvertantly..."
He didn't make the case at all. As I wrote previously, Nietzsche derided Darwin's theories in those few instances in his writings where he even addressed evolution directly. Social Darwinism--which Darwin himself decried--was drawn from other wells. Nietzsche isn't blameless for the wreckage wrought by some of his ideas, but Social Darwinism wasn't one of them.
