Carbon dateing & other methods are not provable beyond about 100 years. There are several cases bones found were declared eons old, later to be proved less than 100.

He may be talking about the bones of small animals that lived by the side of a road.

This is what happens when you put your complete trust about the world in someone who has a vested interest in keeping you completely ignorant about it: You are fed lies, which you then arrogantly and ignorantly help to spread.
As has been said, carbon-dating is not accurate within 100 years.by scientists.
do you think it's possible that fundies could get a list of "most often repeated fallacies" - refer to it often and NOT keep on repeating them?
NtC -- Isn't radio kind of old fashion. How 'bout DVD carbon-dating? And, as to carbon-dating, personally, I never date an element with an atomic number of less than 18.

ITYM 50,000 years, Napoleon.
And, as to carbon-dating, personally, I never date an element with an atomic number of less than 18. at atomic number 18, you're wasting your time. Argon never hooks up with anyone. The prude.
I dare anyone... anyone to provide a single bone that was ever dated to even a billion years in age by a reputable lab or scientist, without the result being thrown out immediately due to obvious errors.
'And right at atomic number 18, you're wasting your time. Argon never hooks up with anyone. The prude.'
You're off by a factor of 500 on the upper limit of carbon dating and about seven orders of magnitude on certain other radiological dating methods (K-Ar, for instance).
Most of these "mistakes" were in the infancy of the process, when they were figuring out it's limitations and fault effects. Scientists published the problems and what to avoid in future, this is how we know about some false conclusions.
Other methods are what they use with or instead of carbon dating for more accurate results
But, you know that, don't you.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
