I've heard the same thing from many people. If you're looking for faith-promoting stuff, you'll find it at FARMS. If you're looking for scientific research, don't look for it there.

Research a topic and group together all the evidence that supports their already-chosen conclusion, yes--but scientific research? Nope. ~ ross On Sat, 17 Apr 2004, Daniel Crookston wrote: > All I remember is that someone asked about FARMS and he guffawed and said > that they don't do any "real" archaeology and then moved on.
