Natural selection eliminates and maybe maintains, but it doesn't create.

Natural selection is not evolution.
The real problem with natural selection is that it makes no intuitive sense. It is like quantum physics; we may intellectually grasp it, but it will never feel right to us.
Since natural selection requires a function to select, an irreducibly complex biological system, if there is such a thing, would have to arise as an integrated unit for natural selection to have anything to act on.
I have called this principle, by which each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term of Natural Selection.
Natural selection will not remove ignorance from future generations.
As Darwin himself was at pains to point out, natural selection is all about differential survival within species, not between them.
The reason for natural selection's great success is that it provides a satisfying explanation of how evolution might have occurred: individual organisms vary, and if those variations are inherited, the successful ones will survive and propagate and pass down their desirable traits to succeeding generations.
Natural selection is not an inflammatory phrase; evolution is.
Natural selection is a mechanism for generating an exceedingly high degree of improbability.
Natural selection is anything but random.
