Does Natural selection occur in opposition to evolution?

Some have thought so because natural selection was seen to reduce variation by culling unsuccessful phenotypes so that alleles did not change over time in populations. This is no longer thought as much as the rates of mutation are better understood and known to outpace natural selection and that adaptive change can accommodate more than one successful phenotype so that many allels can be fixed in populations gene pools.
