it was made in stars from hydrogen.
in the begining of the universe, there was only hydrogen (lots of it, though). It made stars, and stars used hydrogen (still use it, by the way) in fusion reactions. --> those fusion reactions produced helium, and other higher mass elements (including carbon)
When the star's life ended, it exploded and the carbon finally ended up in the nebula which then transformed into the solar system... and therefore came on earth.

We are carbon based life forms. It's an element present in our bodies and in plants and animals. Carbon 14 dating measures what's left as years go by.

Carbon is not made.
It is one of the basic elements in nature that exist in nature.
It is not a compound and therefore not "made".

It isn't made. Its an element and it just exists.
