I guess that would be around 3000BC. It is amazing what these idiots will do in order to not reference Christ.

It has zero to do with referencing or not referencing Jesus. It’s literally just how the process works.

The process of carbon dating just estimates the age of something before a specific date arbitrarily called the “present” which is not the present, but 1950, (which was the present when they started carbon dating things.)

Uncalibrated radiocarbon dates are expressed as “years BP” and are not directly equivalent to calendar dates. Calibrated dates, on the other hand, are expressed as “cal years” or “cal BP” and provide a precise estimate of the calendar year.

Nonetheless, it’s still an estimate and it’s bad form to assign a proper calendar date to something that potentially varies quite a bit.
