Utter nonsense. Carbon dating is only good to about 50,000 YBP, a time period which hardly has any relevance to the issue of evolution. I haven't read the article, but I don't need to to know that any discussion of carbon dating in the context of evolutionary theories is a complete strawman.

Because after 50,000 years there should be any Carbon 14 left. But if you had read the article you would have learned that many of the fossils that have been dated as very old, have significant amounts of Carbon 14 which shouldn't be there. Often 100 times more than should occur based on known sources of comtamination.
