Real life example of natural selection and evolution: Mosquitoes...those pesky little blood suckers.

Every where you go they produce this recognizable buzzing sound. This doesn't really matter in wilderness because they have ample nesting grounds. However in urban areas with fewer locations to for their young ones to develop their numbers drop.

Late in evening they penetrate defence grid and start looking for "donors". Now because urban mosquitoes have small numbers they have to rely on stealth. Buzzing sound is a sure way to alert target of it's presence and thus more likely to get itself killed before laying it's eggs.

So one mutation allows mosquitoes to operate more successful in urban environment and thus are better able to continue their family line...

Natural selection and evolution...I don't think any(one)/(thing) which produces better mosquitoes is worth worshiping as god...
