Regarding behavior, it is anathema on nearly all boards for moderators to debate on behalf of their own ideological positions in threads they are debating in as Admin and AdminPD have done on this board, both in the science forum and the Coffee House Forum as I have cited.
I would ask for evidence of this, but I realise that I would be wasting my time.
You would probably just point at a mountain while stuttering "But...but...but...".

Natural selection is an adjective
natural selection
Noun: The process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
And even if it wasn't a noun, it would be an adverb/verb pairing.
Being correct is not your forte...

Its a description of an observation, which dupes like you repeated often enough to make it become a noun.
Nope. Wrong again.
'Dog' is not a "description of an observation". It is a label - or to give it the correct name: noun.
'Carrot' is not a "description of an observation". It is a label - or to give it the correct name: noun.
'Natural Selection' is not a "description of an observation". It is a label - or to give it the correct name: noun.

Do you know that OMG and 'muffin top" are words now too?
So you didn't know that 'muffin' and 'top' were words until recently. That speaks volumes about your education.
But ultimately, your level of education does not affect reality.
'Natural Selection' is a noun - no matter how many toys you throw out of your pram.

How much does natural selection weigh?
Is 'philosophy' an adjective?
No. It is a noun.
How much does it weigh?
Is 'religion' an adjective?
No. It is a noun.
How much does it weigh?
Are you really so stupid as to think that all things have a weight?
(That is a rhetorical question - clearly you are that stupid.)
How much does a rhetorical question weigh?
Jesus wept - you are such a moron.

LOL and OMG can now be used as nouns.
They are not nouns. They are general expletives.
Bolder-dash writes:
Murphy's law is now in dictionaries as a noun.
That is because it is a noun.
Bolder-dash writes:
but here's the thing-Murphy's Law like doesn't exist man-can you dig that??
Every word in every language is man-made.
All these words are man-made:
"It appears that you are a consummate moron."
