the claim

Natural selection is the only mechanism of evolution.

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 6 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that natural selection is the only mechanism of evolution?

No. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that natural selection is one mechanism among several, listing mutation, genetic drift and gene flow, and one book states Darwin never claimed it was the only mechanism.
