Re: An interesting experiment
I would go further and suggest that it would be possible to find such structures that were built at the same time from the same lumber sources so that wood from the same tree could be found in the structures.
Places to look would be "instant" towns where a large population moved in suddenly, built extensively and continues to this day. Perhaps WW2 Military bases (there would be a high demand for both "activities" as well).
Of course you would also have to screen for sinful behavior within the church.

Re: An interesting experiment
That would be another advantage of the military base town study -- it would have variety of churches and jewish temple (doubt mosque of same age though, or any formal structure for native beliefs -- too few?)
In fact you should be able to do a study on the whole town and order all the structures by "sin content" if the initial concept is correct.

awww I wasn't going to cloud the issue.
Technically no there isn't, but obviously if you have a date near the limit of accuracy (ie say it is +/- 50 years) then you will have indeterminate results.
Using a WW2 base though you could be able to determine the age of the wood with direct historical documents (bills of sale, back to lumberyard inventory) to find actual ages
The concept here is to use C-14 to find apparent age that differs from actual age.
Civil War would be good, as "wood" the War of Independence (I used to rent a house that was originally a barracks ... for the british ... )

corrections for atmosphere content
Certainly, if it is not corrected for the actual atmospheric content of C-14 (as opposed to the theoretical), then it will give false data. This is similar to the creatortionista use of "erroneous" shellfish dates due to a "resevoir effect" of C-14 available.
see Corrections to radiocarbon dates. which discusses both resevoir and A-bomb effects.

personal attack not justified
sorry, but that is nothing but a personal attack ("ad hominum") and not about the question asked. consider that the poster could be a child when answering any post and you might improve your attitude.
