Charles Darwin is the one usually associated with the theory of evolution, although that is a bit of a simplification. The basics of the idea had been tossed around by others before, and during Darwins work with it.

What role did Lamarck think acquired characteristics played in evolution?

Lamarck put two ideas into his theory of evolution thought to be true in his time. 1. Use and disuse - people lose characteristics they don't use and keep the other ones . 2. Individuals inherit the traits of their ancestors. So instead of the environment selecting traits, he said that the species selected the traits.

Jean-Baptise de Lamarck (french)

Does Darwin explain how earth came into existence?

No. Darwin's work was in biology - he studied animals and the way animals inherit traits from their parents. He came up with the idea that animals evolve in nature in a similar way to the way human dog breeders make new breeds of of dog: humans do it by selecting particular dogs that look the way they want, to be parents. Nature does it by being a dangerous place, with lots of different types of environments, so that animals with useful traits are more likely to live long enough to have babies, or to have more babies than animals which aren't as well-suited to the particular environment they find themselves in.
