Your statement really makes no sense - are you claiming nature evolved the ability to select? How does nature perform the selection?

The environment selects. Like if you don't have the sense to come in out of the rain, you'll get wet, get pneumonia, and possibly die.

The environment selects.

How does the environment do ANYTHING - it has no means for selecting or doing anything since there is no thing that is the environment. If there is no intellegent means - its random - how can there be a third way - semi-designed semi-random - it is not possible.

The environment does nothing - it is a label for all things.

There is no selection process - it just happens - random

No force is selecting anything. Selection requires the ability to process data or impose laws to make a selection - this is something the environment can not do.

Natural Select just happens - nothing is driving it.

Natural Select is like God - it just is - you can not falsify natural selection and we cannot use natural selection to predict anything.

Like if you don't have the sense to come in out of the rain, you'll get wet, get pneumonia, and possibly die.

That would be me doing the selecting, not nature. (and I was designed by my Mother and Fathers genes I did not randomly evolve)
