Question
Comment on the statement that "evolution and natural selection are end result or consequence of some other processes but themselves are not processes".
✓

Answer

The world we see, inanimate and animate, is only the success stories of evolution. When we describe the story of this world we describe evolution as a process. On the other hand when we describe the story of life on earth, we treat evolution as a consequence of a process called natural selection. We are still not very clear whether to regard evolution and natural selection as processes or end result of unknown processes.
