fossil evidence points to the existence that those early homids co-existed alongside 'modern' humanity.

Nate, I'm not sure how that contradicts evolution in any way- we're still here and the early hominids have gone the way of the dinosaurs, because we proved better able to survive.
I do not believe all Conservatives in the US want to force out the teaching of science- just that there is a minority who do. That minority (not restricted to the USA), pose, IMO, a greater threat to the future of the West than any terrorists.
If Creationism is to be taught in science classes, churches should be giving readings from Darwin...
Edited to add: while I was writing this post, Webstral posted the above warning. If I have offended anyone, I apologise- and nate is someone for whom I have a great deal of respect, hence my trying to win him round.
Going back to the original topic- Red State sounds really interesting, I will have to look out for it!
