Christianity has nothing to say about Natural Selection...Christianity is about a spiritual growing process. Its about faith in Jesus as the Lord and Savior of our lives.
I, as a christian, however, have learned much about natural selection, which is occuring in many ways.

Well Epiphaneus writes about Christianity spreading because they are the rightful owners of the kingdom of God on Earth...That the caesar made Christianity the legal religion of Rome around 325 on his death bed because it was preordained to be that Christianity was to be the dominant force in society. Basically that believers of Jesus were spreading and taking over because it was the "natural" thing to happen....
So, yes in a way, natural selection was talked about thousands of years ago..the Bible doesn't address natural selection in a scientific sense however. I don't think they were worried about that. It is very clear in Paul's letters that he believed Jesus was going to come back in his lifetime, science was most likely not thier focus.

This Christian knows that there is and was natural selection.

If you mean "survival of the fittest," then Christianity has no argument against it.

The two are contrary. But some "christians", desiring to please the unsaved damned world, go along with the "evolution" lie to appeal to the unsaved damned world.
