I think it's quit clear that the young Amara is not that thing that was in war with god, she only shares the same memories. The Darkness' implied level of power doesn't match what we have seen so far. The Darkness should be able to destroy or consume all the souls in existence with a thought, but young Amara needs to consume them one by one. Also, think about the mirror scene with the grown up Darkness, she said "we are mightier than God" implying that it's not only one consciousness, but more like a distributed mind. I think the older woman is the true Darkness at full power and the younger either an attempt to duplicate herself or another part of her mind.
