Natural selection is, at best, a tautology. Anyone can state that the fittest will survive as long as you can define what "fit" means after you know who does and does not survive.
No.
We can predict natural selection and show it actually happen. There are many repeatable experiments with bacteria and of course the peppered moth studies have shown it in the wild.
If you want to see more - for example wall lizards diet and mouse camouflage colour, go have a look at the evolution of novel features threads.
Natural selection is an easy part of the ToE to find really good evidence for, you don't have to rely on linguistic argument - you can see it.
