Clearthought Singapore: June 2008
http://clearthoughtsingapore.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
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...

http://clearthoughtsingapore.blogspot.com/2008/07/its-not-exorcism-stupid.html
Promoting rational thinking in Singapore. Thursday, July 3, 2008. It's Not An Exorcism, Stupid. More on the court case which we. First looked at almost a year ago.

Father Simon Tan denied that the incident on Aug 10, 2004, was an exorcism. Instead, he called it a prayer of deliverance for plaintiff Amutha Valli Krishnan. Father Tan is among nine parties — inc...

Clearthought Singapore: It Still Isn't An Exorcism, Stupid
http://clearthoughtsingapore.blogspot.com/2008/07/it-still-isnt-exorcism-stupid.html
Promoting rational thinking in Singapore. Saturday, July 12, 2008. It Still Isn't An Exorcism, Stupid. More on the "exorcism" trial. Lawyer questions priest’s logic. 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". Do have a read. Posted by The Key Question. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Send us an e-mail. When docs turn gods.

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.

Friday, September 14, 2007. 1 Sep 15: Finland's Egalitarian Shadow: What we can Learn from Finland's Education System? Singapore's Education system is the envy of the world. But so is Finland. What can we learn from them? 2 Sep 16: Not in Jesus Camp: But what if they took over? The voices of the Christian Right in Singapore is getting louder. From an anti-gay lobby to a creationist picture, could they take over policy making? I doubt it, but what if they did? Or are there more complex reasons? Just some ...
