You'd be surprised at the rationale some people manage to come up with but I've seen it all.
To answer your question DJFreaq, if you want more information than you would ever want to know, the attacks against Radiocarbon dating have been thoroughly analyzed (and rejected) a number of times in the PDD.
And the question is actually interesting if you're the type of person who wonders "why?" and "how?" as opposed to the type of person who wonders "ok." when confronted with something new.

Not even a sexy piece of graphite?

Mr.Mystery is a ****.
On topic, carbon dating is alright with me. Makes more sense than creating the universe in 6 days (On the 7th, he rested. Ate a coffee cake, and drank some tea).
And what is the age of the earth in the bible? 10,000 years or something like that? Come on now, thats silly.
