The Carbon-14 age estimating method is, at best, only useful for estimating the age of things that are thousands of years old, not millions or billions. And it does not work on rocks or thoroughly mineralized fossils; it is only useful for relatively well-preserved organic materials such as cloth, wood, and other non-fossilized materials. Other methods must be used to estimate the age of rocks and minerals. Two of the most widely-known systems are the potassium-argon method and the uranium-lead method.

Well, of course! About time you cut and paste a reliable comment!

We have been trying to tell you for weeks that the radiocarbon method goes back only some 50,000 years.

it is only useful for relatively well-preserved organic materials such as cloth, wood, and other non-fossilized materials

Charcoal is the preferred material for radiocarbon dating, but bone, shell, and other once-living materials can also provide usable dates.

Here is another good site for information on radiocarbon dating.

The knownfossil record fails to document a SINGLE example of phyltic evolution accomplishing a major morphologic transition and hence offers no evidence that the gradulistic model can be valid. ( Steven M. Stanley,1979)

As a generative principle, providing the raw material for natural selection, random mutation is inadequate, both in scope and theoretical grounding,(Jeffrey S. Wicken)

Just so many more quotes I could post its not even funny!

Any thing that is older than historical documented time is inaccurate. It is assumed that it works that far back. You believe it works that far back because of dates it spits out. But you think that it is the same then as it is now, well my friend that does not allow for the fossils to form is the processes move along that slow.

Carbon clock could show wrong time.

At least they admit it here.

But you will still deny the asumptions that are taken to give the appearance of the age expected.

Libby was able to determine the age of oganic artifacts by measuring the amount of remaining C14. He tested his process on objects of known age, such as timbers from Egyptian tombsThe tests proved reliable and it was assumed that this technique was accurate for objects up to 50,000 years of age. Later, this was extended to 70,000 years.

You will notice that he had test subject of known age, and that the word assumed which you like to take as fact it then used.

Sorry to let you down but any that is any dated object from a presupposed time frame with out historical documentation is an assumed date, speculative to fit the needed time of ones study to create a hypothetical old earth.
