C-14 dating is valid, accurate within its limits and becoming more accurate all the time with continuing research.

Reality calling, people... carbon dating has been proven invalid... look it up...

No need to look it up--I work with radiocarbon dating on nearly a daily basis. I have written monographs and delivered papers on the subject. I selected another sample to submit today, and I have three being processed at the moment. This will bring my total number of samples submitted to nearly 600.

Plus, I am probably more familiar with the creationist literature on radiocarbon dating than you are, as well.

So, please inform me as to how "carbon dating has been proven invalid" -- I eagerly await your reply.

In the meantime, here are some useful links for anyone who wants accurate data on the subject:

ReligiousTolerance.org Carbon-14 Dating (C-14): Beliefs of New-Earth Creationists

This site, BiblicalChronologist.org has a series of good articles on radiocarbon dating.
