Natural selection is not evolution.

But if all species are specially created, what is natural selection's function?

That's a very good question! :-)

It strengthens a species to weed out the weaker members. It can, of course, also lead to the extinction of entire species. Why does that occur? From a naturalistic point of view, I suppose we could just say "that's the way it goes". From the point of view of Christian theology, it's the consequence of death and deterioration entering the world as the result of sin. But I'm not here to preach to you! Just to ask you to understand why so many of us don't buy evolution as a theory.
