How old does something have to be to carbon date it?

Question

How old does something have to be to carbon date it?

Answer 1

Do yahoo/google "Dr Andrew Snelling shows radio carbon dating very inaccurate & unreliable"

His several tests have shown that dating laboratories tend to ask the client what age he expects & cynically give the required answer

Yahoo/google 'overwhelming evidence for young Earth'

12 dating methods show Earth to be <10,000 years old

Very likely just @ 6000 years old, as in Man's Maker's Manual, the Bible

His recent UK lecture tour, "Darwin Revisited" - with Prof Philip Johnson - sure helped inspire ace film "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed"

Many learned MSc/PhD articles, magazines, books, CDs, DVDs & MP3s @ http://discovery.org/csc & http://creationism.org & http://AnswersInGenesis.org - whose popular twice-daily show ison both http://RevelationTV.com & http://Genesis.TV - Sky freeview 765 & 772

I've read & enjoyed AiG's Revised & Expanded Answers Book edited by Dr Jonathan Sarfati & his Refuting Evolution 2

& Dr Paul Taylor's "Truth, Lies & Science Education"

& Dr Henry Morris' "Noah's Ark & The Genesis Flood" classic

Ace search @ all relevant topics & aspects @ http://creationonthweb.org

Answer 2

The limit is 50,000 years because after that there is not enough "stuff" (material) to perform the analysis.
