"when a wrong date is given it almost always turns out to be far older than the carbon dating suggested"

Wow, that really instills confidence in evolution theory! (sarc)

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.

OK, if you say so.

Credibility.
