I have been thinking of starting a new blog, and I need help with a name.  You see, I'm going to try to make this a snazzy blog with its own domain name, so it has to be something short, clever, and easy to spell.  (Before you suggest it, I would use Vox, but I want to have more control over user registration and commenting than Vox currently allows.)

The new blog will be targeted at folks who are searching for information about the evolution vs. creation debate, and will present the scientific side in a simple, easy-to-understand, non-confrontational manner.  In my Internet perusing, I often find that the scientific viewpoint is misrepresented or omitted by creationists and intelligent design proponents, and I would like to contribute in some small way to addressing these gaps in their arguments.  Evolutionists are often guilty of simply dismissing creationist arguments without actually addressing them, which just makes us seem arrogant and doesn't provide any basis for the average person to make an informed decision about what to believe, as they don't have balanced information from both sides.  I would also like the blog to be a forum for a respectful discussion of the facts by readers on both sides of the debate.

So, with that said, do you have any suggestions?  It would ideally have 'sci' or 'science' in the name somewhere, and maybe also a reference to design or faith or god or something of the sort.  Please help!

On a day when much of the country are off wasting their time worshiping a mythical zombie, I recommend this article over at LiveScience, that great bastion of reason and science on the Internets.  The article is a rather satirical review of Ann Coulter's Godless which also manages to be something of a primer on the " 'intelligent' 'design' " ""debate.""  Go read it now!  Genius!
