Let me rephrase then.
Evolution theory is generally false, creationism is generally true. Given that, was the approach of evolution still better. Or so to say, do we have to wait for a scientific theory that establishes free will, or can we just posit free will by direct evidence and common sense.
I think the last, we do not have to wait, direct evidence and common sense is sufficient grounding for a scientific theory, we do not have to know everything about creation prior to accepting any creation.
Natural selection, differential reproductive success, could be just as true as differential rolling down the hill success when I let go a sack of oddly shaped rocks, and the rocks roll down further and less far according to their variation. Or otherwise, when you have a bag of M&M's and you group them according to color, and then cause a war between the different color M&M's, eating the victims, then actually that is just happening in the imagination. And yes it is fact that the one color gets eaten while the other still doesn't, and it's a fact that a variant organism in a population reproduces while the other variant doesn't, and it's a fact that the one rock rolled down further than another because of it's shape, but nature itself does not use any of these processes. Nature is not in the habit of comparing things, be they variant rocks, variant organisms, or variant M&M's.
