No, Natural selection includes the term ''natural'', which makes no references to magic or supernaturalism. Further, nothing about ''natural'' implies your three gods as opposed to any of the other gods. The realization of natural selection is in fact definable resulting in success of heritable biological traits and/or behaviours. Biologist George Williams described natural selection as: "the essence of the genetical theory of natural selection is a statistical bias in the relative rates of survival of alternatives (genes, individuals, etc.)" (Adaptation and Natural Selection: a Critique of Some Current Evolutionary Thought [Princeton, 1966], p. 22). That's it. No angry gods required. Natural selection is a function of heritable traits and success in reproduction. There is no need for magic and the intervention of supernatural gods.Have you ever seen the evolution of New Zealand? No mammals are native to the country. So it’s very interesting to see how the birds have evolved on this island. It’s almost like we get to see what evolution might look like on another planet. Some birds are meat eaters, carnivores, vegetarians. Some can’t fly. It’s crazy.If apes and humans are too different, then they cannot possibly be related. Darwin just had a hypothesis. He wasn't able to back it up with real science and evidence. Furthermore, we still have apes and all are not bipedal.
3-D Human Genome Radically Different from Chimp
"All plant and animal genomes studied so far exhibit complex and distinct three-dimensional (3-D) structures in their chromosome configurations depending on the type of cell (e.g., heart, liver, brain, etc.). Given the incredible variability among genome configurations within a single type of creature, let alone that which exists between creatures (e.g., human vs. chimpanzee), this area of evolutionary comparison has been difficult for secular researchers. Now a new study published in Trends in Genetics evaluates research in this emerging field that shows the human 3-D genome is distinctly unique to humans, confirming previous research that showed it is as different compared to chimp as it is to mouse."

Isn't that natural selection created by God?
It's really about life, i.e. God's breath, and that is supernatural. We know because only life begets life. Making life from life is natural, but life itself is eternal so it falls into the supernatural realm. Today is Easter Sunday, and we know because Jesus rose again from the dead just like you will rise again after you die. Death isn't the end of life. Death is only the end of this world for the deceased (Earth, universe, and everything in it). One is rushed immediately to Hades.
Even the women in Jesus' life nor the Apostles could believe Jesus had risen from death and rose into heaven after the evidence of the empty tomb. They still had faith, but couldn't believe what Jesus said would happen did happen. They had to collect the evidence for themselves. With atheists, it's they do not "In God We Trust."
We study biology as the study of life, but it doesn't explain the origin of life properly. Life already was here. Thus, when atheist science tries to explain how life originated, it doesn't get the job done. It makes one only understand what you posted.
The truth is God is who created natural selection and started life, Earth, the universe, and everything in it.
