Can you be more specific? Does natural selection within a species encourage physical changes within that species to adapt the to their environment and changes in it? Yes. Charles Darwin observed that in the Galapagos finches and it has been observed elsewhere. It is an observed and tested fact. It is often called adaptation and it can also be called MICRO-evolution (meaning evolution on a small scale). Does the natural selection observed by Darwin prove evolution? No, not to the degree mainstream science would lead us to believe. Nowhere has it been observed that natural selection or adaption changes one animal into another as has been suggested by MACRO-evolution (meaning changes on a large scale) such as a cow becoming a whale or a dinosaur becoming a bird. The finches in the Galapagos remain finches. Despite the incredibly numerous breeds of dogs we have developed over the years they remain dogs. Despite the multitudes of mutations deliberately caused in generations of fruit flies (99% fatal or grossly harmful, few to none beneficial) they remained fruit flies. Natural selection, in that regard, has not been proven or observed, thus does not support Charles Darwin's supposition that small changes over time would result in new creatures.
