Honestly, I defy anyone to take the time to understand the underlying premise of Natural Selection and then come back and say it's not true. It's just so simple and logically self-evident that the only way to dismiss it is to stay ignorant of what the underlying theory is.
I mean even the frikken Pope accepted that evolution is more than just a theory!

Natural Selection is one part of adaptation but it's not the entire story. For instance natural selection doesn't adequately explain early adaptation of micro organisms and bacterias. All of these organisms flourished not because of competition with one another but because of cooperation.
Symbiogenesis is another crucial element in explaining the evolution of life. It basically explains how cellular organisms share DNA between each other. The cells also join into a larger system to create a whole new species. For instance when algae and fungus joined to create lichens.
So I would take issue with you that it is the ONLY theory to explain the development of life and adaptation.
