700,000 years my carbon married (gave up dating) behind.
I call BS. We know now that radioactive decay is not a constant, and seems to be influenced by solar cycles. I'll bet these fluctuations in the isotopic decay rates aren't figured into the age estimate. In fact, I don't think they can be, because we just discovered the effect and have no idea how long or broad it is.
Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom. 700,000 years my carbon married (gave up dating) behind.If you knew anything about dating, you would now that they do NOT use carbon dating for these time periods.

OK. Even if you give it a 25% accuracy, it is still closer to 700k years than it is to 6k years.
