Have none of you guys
heard of background radioactivity. You would never expect to find a carbon 14 level of zero. Some of the C12 and C13 in a sample will be changed into some C14 due to background radioactivity.
​
Why is it that old fossils never have large amounts of C14? If C14 dating is as flawed as you say why are the levels in old samples always at the limits of detection or below?

Reminds me of the star formation thread a couple of months ago. And not in a good way!
