Because it does! Natural selection is the best explanation of adaptive change that we have and drives much of evolution. talkorigins.org
PS: Evolutionists is an ideological, not a scientific term
" Evolutionists? " Believe in? " Two words/phrases that are ideological in nature and have no place in a scientific discussion. Evolutionary scientists accept the overwhelming and convergent evidence for the theory of evolution by natural selection. This is the best explanation we have for the adaptive changes seen in evolution.
No, natural selection is believed to result in evolution.
Perhaps not, but evolution can exist without natural selection.
Evolution by natural selection.
The main principles of evolution according to Charles Darwin and evolutionists include natural selection, which is the process by which organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce, leading to the gradual change of species over time. Additionally, genetic variation and inheritance play a key role in driving evolutionary change by providing the raw material for natural selection to act upon. The idea that all species share a common ancestry and have evolved from a single common ancestor is another important principle of evolution.
Evolution by natural selection.
Evolution is descent with modification. Or, change over time. And formally as the change in allele frequencies over time in a population of organisms. This is an observed and a observable fact. The theory is; the theory of evolution by natural selection, which explains the fact of evolution. Natural selection is the main mechanism ( there are others ) that drives the adaptive change in organism that can lead to speciation, or just simple evolution.
An evolutionist is someone who believes in the scientific theory of evolution, which explains how species change and develop over time through natural selection and genetic variation. Evolutionists study the evidence supporting the theory, such as fossil records and genetic data, to understand the diversity of life on Earth.
Natural selection directs evolution; it cannot stop or prevent it.
Natural selection is one of the mechanisms that shapes adaptation and enables evolution.
All educated people accept evolution and the theory that explains it. " Evolutionist " is a term not used among biologists. Even if there were no " evolutionists " evolution would still be an observed and observable fact and the theory of evolution by natural selection would still be the best explanation for much of the fact of evolution.
Natural selection explains the process of evolution: evolution by natural selection. It basically means that species with the highest fitness (survival rate) will live, and be selected by nature for the characteristics they possess that make them more apt to survive. Because of natural selection, evolution occurs.
