I'm a little bit lost: Not talking about that site, oh my word! the carbon dating site I just showed you! anyways peace dude!

Do you mean this site:The Problem with Carbon 14 and other dating methods?

You didn't show this site, you gave a vague hint by giving a corrupted link...

The article The Problem with Carbon 14 and other dating methods has to be scientific - it uses footnotes and stuff!

Granted, it's just three footnotes, but they show the wisdom of this remarkable essay. So, here they are, in their whole splendor and somewhat odd - but original - enumeration1:

Carbon dating references:
1) From a video Lecture by Dr. Kent Hovind2
6) Antarctic Journal, Washington
10) "Dry bones and other fossils" by Dr. Gary Parker


1: I can think of two reasons for this:
  1. Space is left for more annotations to come - or
  2. Even more embarrassing sources were eliminated
Call me a skeptic, but I tend to No. 2...
2: Link added by me :-)

What happens if you pour a gallon of water into a 1 litre measuring cup? You may get a result, something between zero and one - depends on how forceful you were. Of course the reading is worthless.... And your mom will come to complain about the mess you made - again - though everyone has told you that it doesn't work... and you will say: you have a reading, so hasn't been a gallon in the first place...

That's what the main point of The Problem with Carbon 14 and other dating methods is about:

They know, that carbon dating won't give meaningful results for samples which are older than ~50,000 years. They do it non the less. And they do it again. And they claim that they have proved either that the world is less than 50,000 years old or that carbon dating doesn't work.

To get back to our little analogy: this is like claiming that their is either less than one litre of liquid or that it is impossible to measure the amount of one gallon...
