 
 <prompt> For biology, adaptation get three related meanings. Firstly e be di dynamic evolutionary process wey dey make population of organisms fit their environment, e dey enhance their evolutionary fitness. Secondly, e be di state wey di population reach during dat process. Thirdly, e be phenotypic or adaptive trait, wey get functional role for each individual organism, wey dey maintained and don evolve by natural selection.

Organisms dey face succession of environmental challenges as dem dey grow, and dem show adaptive plasticity as traits dey develop in response to di imposed conditions. Dis dey give dem resilience to varying environments.

Adaptation na observable fact of life wey philosophers and natural historians don accept since ancient times, independently of their views on evolution, but their explanations dey differ. Empedocles no believe say adaptation need final cause (~ purpose), but "come about naturally, since such things survived." Aristotle believe in final causes, but assume say species dey fixed.

In natural theology, adaptation dey interpreted as di work of a deity and as evidence for the existence of God. William Paley believe say organisms dey perfectly adapted to the lives dem dey lead, an argument wey shadow Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, wey don argue say God don bring about "the best of all possible worlds." Voltaire's Dr. Pangloss na parody of dis optimistic idea, and David Hume also argue against design. The "Bridgewater Treatises" na product of natural theology, though some of di authors manage to present their work in a fairly neutral manner. The series dey mocked by Robert Knox, wey hold quasi-evolutionary views, as di "Bilgewater Treatises". Charles Darwin break with di tradition by emphasising di flaws and limitations wey dey occur for di animal and plant worlds. <response>: 1. Wetin dem see as the work of a god?
