From article: "Therefore they mounted a major campaign to discover and eliminate the sources of such contamination. Although they identified and corrected a few relatively minor sources of 14C contamination, there still remained a significant level of 14Ctypically about 100 times the ultimate sensitivity of the instrumentin samples that should have been utterly "14C-dead," including many from the deeper levels of the fossil-bearing part of the geological record.2"
Most of these papers acknowledge that most of the 14C in the samples studied appear to be intrinsic to the samples themselves, and they usually offer no explanation for its origin.
"Usually?" Taking advantage of a hopelessly credulous audience, ICR imputes the lack of explanation as something sinister. And what is the explanation ICR forgot to mention? Was it, "It's because the Earth is really young and Genesis is literally true but we're in a conspiracy to suppress that?"
Most scientists are aware that carbon is a dirt-common and highly reactive element. It gets around.
