No, they are two different things.
No, natural selection is believed to result in evolution.
No, it's exactly the other way around: natural selection causes adaptation.
According to evolutionary theory, natural selection is the principle that directs evolution.
mutation
Natural selection.
Natural selection can help creatures adapt to their enviorment. Sometimes this can cause unwanted problems.

natural selection
A population with differences has much better chance of surviving diseases.
They aren't. Intelligent design posits that natural selection cannot create life as we know it, and inserts a deity as the cause.
Genetic variation. If there were no variation in the genes/phenotype then natural selection would have nothing to select from.
Natural selection and artificial selection both involve an organism's traits being determined by how much they're favored. Then, the organisms with favorable traits pass those traits on to future generations.However, natural selection is caused by survival; the organisms with traits that increase their chances for survival and reproduction pass on their traits. As for artificial selection, humans purposefully decide which traits (like the most colorful one) of an organism to pass on.The similarity of artificial selection and natural selection is that they both can cause changes in the frequency of population.
