Here are the four postulates of natural selection, according to Charles Darwin:
1. variability - refers to different mutations that create different species
2. heritability - refers to the genes that are passed from one organism onto its descendants
3. overproduction of offspring - refers to the fact that more "children" is born than dies
4. natural selection - refers to those organisms that survive because they adapt to their surroundings better than those who will die

Dafna11 [192]

Creationists criticize the idea of natural selection as a circular argument, or tautology, claiming "the fittest are those that survive, and survival is how fitness is defined. "

The definition of natural selection is not tautological because natural selection is measured by contribution to the next generation, not simply survival of an individual organism.

Tautologies or circular arguments are true at all times and therefore are not productive as theories since they cannot be disproved. A tautology is a statement which is true by necessity.

Natural selection is the prevalent theory which explains biological change by predicting the mechanism behind evolution.

Nevertheless, natural selection can be explained non-tautologically. It should be described as the theory which tries to speculate as well as retrodict evolutionary change by environmental forces affecting the organisms.

I’m not sure if that’s the answer but what immediately pops up in my mind is the food chain. Primary consumers (herbivores) consume producers (plants). Secondary consumers consume primary consumers etc. At the end of the day, all kinds of animals die and decompose, providing nutrients for producers to grow, continuing the circle of life.
Lion is a top predator that hunts secondary consumers. Simba’s father died and contribute to the circle of life. I hope it gave you some pointers!
