Some have responded to the proponents of this view of the Moloch sacrifices ( being only a ritualized " pass between flame ") by pointing out their failure to understand the Hebrew idiom le ha ' avir ba ' esh to imply " to burn " and their use of anthropological evidence of suspect relevance to draw parallels to early Hebrew religious practices.

Some results in constructive set theory use the axiom of countable choice or the axiom of dependent choice, which do not imply the law of the excluded middle in constructive set theory.

Some say that literary criticism is a subset of literary theory.

Some mathematicians, especially in set theory, do not consider the sets and to be part of the relation, and therefore define a binary relation as being a subset of x, that is, just the graph.

Some have recently expressed doubt to how much the theory was his.

Some believe that Georg Cantor's set theory was not actually implicated by these paradoxes ( see Frápolli 1991 ); one difficulty in determining this with certainty is that Cantor did not provide an axiomatization of his system.

Some, such as computational complexity theory, which studies fundamental properties of computational problems, are highly abstract, while others, such as computer graphics, emphasize real-world applications.

Some fields, such as computational complexity theory ( which explores the fundamental properties of computational problems ), are highly abstract, whilst fields such as computer graphics emphasise real-world applications.

Some researchers still advocate a handful of alternative cosmologies ; however, cosmologists generally agree that the Big Bang theory best explains observations.

Some of the Myers-Briggs temperaments are known to despise educational material that lacks theory.

Some workers in the field have also attempted to formulate hidden variable theories that exploit loopholes in actual experiments, such as the assumptions made in interpreting experimental data, although no theory has been proposed that can reproduce all the results of quantum mechanics.

Some modification of the Feynman rules of calculation may well outlive the elaborate mathematical structure of local canonical quantum field theory ...” So far there are no opposing opinions.

Some laissez-faire free-market advocates, like Chicago school economists, often dismiss this endogenous theory, and blame external influences, such as weather, commodity prices, technological developments, and government meddling for non-equilibrium prices.

Some Christian theologians ( particularly neo-Scholastics ) saw Cantor's work as a challenge to the uniqueness of the absolute infinity in the nature of God — on one occasion equating the theory of transfinite numbers with pantheism — a proposition which Cantor vigorously rejected.

Some radical political environmentalists who accept some form of the Gaia theory call themselves Gaians.

Some refer to this political activity as a separate and radical branch of the ecology movement, one that takes the axioms of the science of ecology in general, and Gaia theory in particular, and raises them to a kind of theory of personal conduct or moral code.

Some constitutions or fundamental laws provide for a head of state who is not only in theory but in practice chief executive, operating separately from, and independent from, the legislature.

Some of the characteristics of a presidential system ( i. e., a strong dominant political figure with an executive answerable to them, not the legislature ) can also be found among absolute monarchies, parliamentary monarchies and single party ( e. g.
