In attempting to elucidate meaning to these expressions in terms of truth-conditions, induce a plethora of further problems. Many are a matter of detail concerning the kinds of properties we should associate with these terms to produce truth theories for them. Lack of Correspondence and Coherence are the sources for general difficulties concerning whether or not truth is central at all in the analysis or elucidation of meaning of these expressions.Well, the god hypothesis introduces its own nice set of difficulties which you just happen to choose to ignore with a flick of a finger.
We can dismiss any non-proven hypothesis, while betting on one of them to be the winning horse. I guess that's what believers do.
I prefer not to gamble.

Natural selection does have a scientific description.
Thanks for playing science. Here's your parting gift....
Concerning the Scientific Description of “Natural Selection,” the only thing I have ever received is the phrase “Natural selection does have a scientific description.” However, none of you guys ever dared to present a REAL Scientific Description of “Natural Selection” that may define the mechanics and orderly methods which clearly demonstrate on what principles “Natural Selection” works and how it chooses the fittest.
Anyway, had you not skipped high-school, you'd have been presented with the evidence you want.
Here's a collection of resources that seem fit for the job at hand:
