Hoyle and Wickramasinghe observe that “the theory that life was assembled by an intelligence” is “vastly” more probable than spontaneous generation.
Hoyle en Wickramasinghe merk op dat “die teorie dat lewe deur ’n intelligensie geskep” is ’n “geweldig” groter moontlikheid as spontane ontwikkeling is.

Yet the life of the cell depends on the integrated activities of thousands, certainly tens, and probably hundreds of thousands of different protein molecules.”—Evolution: A Theory in Crisis.
Tog is die lewe van die sel afhanklik van die geïntegreerde bedrywighede van duisende, beslis tienduisende, en heel moontlik honderdduisende verskillende proteïenmolekules.”—Evolution: A Theory in Crisis.

They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, min and max solutions and compute the price- cost probabilities of their transactions and investments just like we do.
Hulle haal hulle lineêre programmeerkaarte uit, statistiese besluitnemings teorieë, minimum en maksimum oplossings teorieë en bereken die pryskontrak waarskynlikheid van hulle transaksies en beleggings net soos ons.

Another theory favored by some scholars is that Jesus’ close Jewish disciples probably followed the rabbinic method of teaching —memorization by routine and repetition— which contributed to the accuracy in oral transmission.
Nog ’n teorie wat gewild is onder party geleerdes, is dat Jesus se intieme Joodse dissipels waarskynlik die rabbynse onderrigmetode gevolg het—memorisering deur herhaling—wat tot akkurate mondelinge oordrag bygedra het.

The Book of Popular Science tells us that some of his unsound notions “seem quite fantastic to us today” but cautions against medical arrogance, saying: “Some of the medical theories that are now most firmly established will probably seem just as fantastic to men of a future generation.”
The Book of Popular Science sê dat party van sy onjuiste idees “vandag vir ons heel ongelooflik lyk”, maar dit waarsku teen mediese verwaandheid waar dit sê: “Party van die mediese teorieë wat nou as feit aanvaar word, sal waarskynlik vir mense van ’n toekomstige geslag net so ongelooflik lyk.”

Professor Dose writes: “Probably no discipline of natural science distinguishes itself by such a variety of contradictory ideas, hypotheses, and theories as does the whole field of the evolution of life.
Professor Dose skryf: “Daar is waarskynlik geen studierigting van die natuurwetenskap wat hom deur so ’n verskeidenheid teenstrydige idees, hipoteses en teorieë onderskei as die hele gebied van die evolusie van die lewe nie.

But the Bulletin of Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History commented: “Darwin’s theory of [evolution] has always been closely linked to evidence from fossils, and probably most people assume that fossils provide a very important part of the general argument that is made in favor of darwinian interpretations of the history of life.
Maar die Bulletin van Chicago se Veldmuseum van Natuurhistorie het gesê: “Darwin se [evolusie]teorie is nog altyd ten nouste gekoppel aan fossielgetuienis, en die meeste mense neem waarskynlik aan dat fossiele ’n baie belangrike deel uitmaak van die algemene argument ten gunste van darwinistiese vertolkings van die geskiedenis van lewe.
