I never expected to see this photo.  Last week AIG president Ken Ham and outspoken creationism and ID critic Eugenie Scott posed in the Creation Museum lobby, where Scott and representatives from BBC had stopped by to see the museum and interview Ham for an upcoming BBC special.  Ham described Scott as "complimentary" (in regard to the museum) and "very respectful."

Her behavior was apparently in contrast to that of Bill Maher (former host of Politically Incorrect) who earlier this month snuck into Ken Ham's office for an unannounced interview.  Those silly journalists.  They'll do anything for a story.

Carl Zimmer thinks so too.  He has a post criticizing the shoddy journalism involved in Discovery's upcoming special, "The Lost Tomb of Jesus." The show will air this Sunday (March 4th) and claims to have found the burial ossuaries of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and their son Judas (see NYT article).  The blasphemy and sensationalism here is obvious, and I need not emphasize it.  It's enough to say that even non-Christians are unconvinced by the level of evidence for these asinine claims.  It's doubtful the show would've gotten off the ground if The Da Vinci Code hadn't been written first.  (Incidentally, if you happen to believe that Mary Magdalene and Jesus were a couple, why not email me and tell me why?)
