Are you saying you DON'T think natural selection is a real thing? If that is the case, you are on the wrong forum. This is a science forum, not a religious forum.

No, my friend does not believe it is real I was trying to get other people's perspectives on natural selection. I know I'm on the right site. I do believe it is real do not assume things.

This is not a question of perspective, and we are not a forum about "perspectives" here, we are a science forum. The Wikipedia article has tons of links on all levels.

I closed the thread.
Feel free to open a thread if you have a specific question.
