No, this statement explains how evolution occurs.

While the statement outlines the process of natural selection and the survival of organisms with advantageous traits, it is not a scientific law, which typically refers to a concise mathematical relationship or principle that describes consistent and universal phenomena. Instead, the statement is a description of the mechanism of evolution.
