With respectful skepticism, I do salute the Discovery Channel and its Executive VP of corporate communications, David Leavy for acknowledging their shark-jump.
Not to quibble with the tvweek.com article, but it's not accurate to report that Christian groups "criticized it for conflicting with the New Testament." Like all the critical coverage, Christian groups pointed out concerns about the documentarians' methodology. The methods that were criticized were (as Jay Cost wrote), essentially, "Evidence that favors the theory is included. The rest is excluded."
