In at least one paragraph (3-5 sentences), explain why natural selection is or is not evidence

Natural selection and evolution are two different things. Natural selection is the prevalance of
species that are best suited to their environments because they can survive where they live.
This example is seen everyday. Evolution is the theory that one species can slowly change to
another if best suited for its survival. Natural selection does not prove evolution because there
has never been an instance where one species has been observed changing to another; instead
species that are best suited to their environments simply tend to survive better than those that
are not.
