Promoting rational thinking in Singapore. Wednesday, June 25, 2008. Real and Apparent Danger. There is a real and apparent danger in Singapore. Toxins in dish-washing detergent? I WOULD like to ask why dish-washing liquid detergents do not carry ingredient labels. This is perhaps an oversight since such detergents leave traces on utensils, even after washing. The danger is even more apparent in foodcourts where mass-washed utensils are coated with unknown ingredients. Formaldehyde is a widely used form o...

Plaintiff’s lawyer accuses priest in Novena trial of evading question. IF A political party held a rally without a police permit and were quizzed about it, would the party be right to argue no rally had taken place because no permit was issued? Father Ong is among nine parties being sued by Mdm Amutha Valli over an alleged botched exorcism a...

http://clearthoughtsingapore.blogspot.com/2008/07/its-just-theory-stupid.html
Promoting rational thinking in Singapore. Saturday, July 12, 2008. It's Just A THEORY, Stupid. Rather unexpectedly, the discussion on the "exorcism" trial has spilled over to the topic of evolution. Since angry doc is no expert in evolution, he has decided to seek help from fellow Clearthought blogger Leng Hiong to tell us why the theory of evolution is a "theory", and not a "fact".

Clearthought Singapore: It's Just A THEORY, Stupid 2
http://clearthoughtsingapore.blogspot.com/2008/07/its-just-theory-stupid-2.html
Promoting rational thinking in Singapore. Saturday, July 12, 2008. It's Just A THEORY, Stupid 2. Reader zhanzhao made the comment in the previous post that evolution "cannot be observed under lab conditions, vaildated [sic] nor replicated". He is partly correct. Evolution has been observed and validated in a lab condition, but curiously, it could not be replicated*. Leng Hiong covered this interesting experiment. Which covers some of the details of the experiment. Both are well-worth a read.
