Nature, which you don't seem to realize, is mindless, and not a human
activity. So when selective pressure from humans produces a change in
a species over time, and environmental conditions shape a change in a
species over time, we have words which allow us to discuss them
intelligently without getting confused.

You are confusing the cause with the effect. Rain doesn't cause corn
to grow, it is but an element needed for the
corn gene to give the grow instruction. The organism responds to the
environment, the environment causes nothing.

Yes the organism responds to the environment. This also works with
populations of organisms. Populations of organisms respond to the
environment, sometimes this means that certain individuals within a
population have traits that allow them to pass on their genes with
greater frequency than other members of the population without this
trait. Guess what we call this? I'll give you three tries.
