This question is to those who believe in hypothesis of evolution and does not believe in intelligent design.
At what point evolution decided to select naturally, If you believe in natural selection than there should be something called nature prior to natural selection. Who decided something to be "natural" before natural selection.

I suppose to someone predisposed to the "design implies designer" way of thinking, "selection" may appear to imply a willful "selector". However, that view could not be more incorrect. "Selection" is a convenient word used to express nothing more than the fierce competition between species for survival. The "selectors" in this case, are the species themselves. There is no outside authority guiding the process along. "Selection" (or competition, if you prefer) began as soon as there were two or more self-replicating species around competing for the same scarce resources. Hopefully, this shed some light on the subject.
Regards

Theory of evolution, not "hypothesis". A theory has been supported by experimental results.
Natural selection is evolution uder the influence of environmental stimuli, which operate under universal laws.
Nobody knows what was here before the universe was formed. But at least we admit that we don't know. I can't recall ever seeing a christian say that.

You question is full of existential philosophical errors, therefore, effectively meaningless.
A hypothesis should not be "believed in".
Evolution cannot make decisions about its own character.
Evolution is nature, and nature works by natural selection. There was no need for any decision.

I think you misunderstand the term "natural selection." There's not actually something that actively "selects." Rather, competition for survival combined with genetic diversity means that certain organisms from a species will be more likely than others to reproduce. Those organisms are "selected" to have their genetic material passed on at a greater rate than those organisms at a disadvantage.

In evolution, a clean species would not replace a pre-latest one. a clean species only branches off from the prevailing inventory. there is not any clarification why 2 or extra species of hominids (or roses or something) can not exist on the comparable time. Your question factors to a difficulty-loose false impression approximately evolution looking like a ladder of progression, the place as you progression up the rungs of the ladder each and each species is replaced. it extremely is extra precise to view evolution as a branching bush, the place any branch is only as sturdy as the different branch. certainly we've information that extra suitable than 2 or extra of our ancestors lived alongside one yet another for an important quantity of time. Why there is in common terms one species of human left (Homo sapiens) is an unanswered question.

Evolution is NOT an hypothesis, it is a scientific theory. Lurk more in 6th grade.

The females of the species choose those that they want to mate. They do the selection.

The first law of thermodynamics.
It's been here all along. Nothing needed to be selected.*

Why must someone decide what is natural? By definition, whatever is verifiably real is natural - nothing more.
