Answer 1
Many churches of the time posited that god created all the organisms of earth at one time, so that no organism was related except to vary from it's created kind. Darwin showed that through the process of natural selection new species were constantly arising from related organisms.
Answer 2
Theism rationalizes its beliefs in deities by pointing to the organized nature of nature, claiming that such complexities could not have come about through unguided natural processes. Darwin, with his theory of natural selection, provided just that: an explanation for natural complexities in terms of unguided processes. Basically, while Darwin's theory does not claim that no gods are involved in nature, it did away with the need for any gods to explain the diversity of life.

What Christian beliefes were challanges by Darwins natural selection?
Traditional Church (not Christian as Christ did not teach this) belief was that God had created everything in 7 days as described in Genesis and biblical scholars had worked out that this had happened about 4000 years ago. The advent of Geology as a science and Darwin's theory of natural selection requires an immense amount of time for the species we see around us today to have come into being by small changes to species that existed in the past. Thus in effect Darwin said that the Earth is far OLDER than the bible says, and that species were NOT created as described in Genesis but that they evolved from life that existed in the past. This was a direct challenge to Church doctrine and the Church is still trying to recover from it because when people looked at what Darwin had said and tried to disprove his theory they have so fat not been able to do so.
Why was Darwin's theory of evolution controversal?
Darwin's theory of evolution was controversial because it challenged existing religious beliefs about the creation of life, suggesting instead that species evolved over time through natural selection. This clashed with the prevalent idea of divine creation as outlined in religious texts. Additionally, some people were uncomfortable with the implications of humans evolving from earlier species.
How did humans start?

Additionally, Darwin’s theory of evolution challenged the notion of humanity as separate and superior to other species, which was unsettling to some.
What court case involved traditional religious beliefs and science?
That would be the case of God versus Darwins theory of evolution by natural selection. The church (one of the many churches of north America, I forget which one) petitioned its local state to ban the teaching of Darwins theory to school children on the grounds that it was against the teachings of the bible. The law was passed but some teachers fought against it. Hopefully someone can expand on this answer, as I am unsure of names / dates, etc.
