> Natural selection only chooses from existing variations. No, this is wrong. What we call "natural selection" includes the effect of various sources of genetic mutation. It is by this process that selection (the entire process) does create new genetic information. Another way to say this is that, without identifying and addressing sources of mutation, natural selection would not be a complete theory.
