What it says is that there IS measurable C14 throughout the fossil layers, showing that the material is less than 20,000 years.

What the ICR charlatans don't tell the credulous, superstitious boobs upon whom they prey is that carbon is highly mobile in the form of CO2 (atmospheric) and/or carbonic acid (which is essentially CO2 dissolved in water), making it easy to find contamination by modern carbon in old rocks if you're looking to do so.

Your typical name-calling aside, Vade...did you read the article and what the scientist did to avoid this problem?
