We often say the theory of evolution when we refer to the idea that life evolved through natural selection.

Note that the theory of evolution, at least as it is expressed in modern evolutionary synthesis, is far and away the bestexplanation for the countless facts we've discovered about life on earth and its long history here. In that light, modern evolutionary synthesis (MES) is considered fact by almost all of the scientific community.

The fact that the ideas expressed have not been proved false does not keep some from trying. And though the questions raised and the contrary opinions expressed are, in general, healthy for science on the whole, there is an undercurrent of desperate intent on the part of some investigators who attack the theory. These exchanges are spoken to in other posts here on WikiAnswers. Links can be found below.

Is evolution a natural selection?

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.

Genetic variation is important for natural selection to drive evolution because it provides the raw material for natural selection to act upon. Without genetic variation, there would be no diversity in traits for natural selection to favor or eliminate, and evolution would not be possible.
