[quote:MarkinAZ:MV8zODU2NzMwXzY5NDE4ODg3X0ZEMzkzQkQ5] All reputable scientists and archeologists have known that carbon dating methods were wildly inaccurate and have been for decades! It's high time we stop using this outdated, inaccurate and largely mythological method to test or date anything! Who knows? We might actually get accurate info for a change, not the bullshit theories that have been passed off as being true since the 1940's! [/quote]

Why did the scientific community decided to publish a story about how their very own gold standard is flawed by design? The assumptions/design flaws in the carbon dating formula
have been known for decades
, but it hasn't stopped archeology from taking carbon data and proclaiming its exactitude.
I found an article from 1990 stating they found carbon dating was inaccurate, here

And here we see some disbelief that carbon dating could be accurate when measuring dates OVER 30,000 years as a result of
the ratio of atmospheric radioactive carbon to nonradioactive carbon has not remaining consistent over time
.

Not only does this put a huge kink in our understanding of climate history, but threatens our understanding of the timescale of Human evolution through the discovery of tools, ancient campsites & the like.
