Radiocarbon dating is only good back to about 50,000. Most of evolution relies on other forms of radiometric dating.

In general these methods are quite accurate, but as always, you need to exercise care in sample selection and avoid contamination. Even so, there is always an occasional wrong date. Doesn't mean a thing.

SIGH Well it definately doesnt instill condifence in creationism and "a young earth" :) Besides only in those cases when the dating is IN ERROR is the true age older. Most datings really are good.\

If you know of a better way to date, why don't you write about it in nature?
