No it is not a bunch of B.S. It is a method that has not been disproven. When done properly and in the right environment it seems to give a fairly decent dating system. In fact dating with isotopes has become more accurate instead of less accurate.

I believe problems arise when persons use the wrong isotope for the material and time they wish to date.

In any event, this presentation provides no evidence to say radiocarbon or other isotope dating is a bunch of BS.
