Even I cannot answer that question without doing some research.
This is probably better asked in the science forum.
You will get nothing but beliefs, feelings, and heresay in this forum.

carbon dating IS reliable up to +/- about 20%. This means if they determine a certain thing is 10 million years old, it might be as much as 12 million years old or as little as 8 million years old. Either way I think that qualifies as 'very old', don't you?

Unless you are biased against a young earth, you will benefit from examining the results of the RATE project, recently completed by scientists with ICR.

One doesn't relate to the other and carbon 14 is reliable.

Science questions are not likely to find well-informed answers in the Religion & Spirituality section of Y!A. You are more likely to get examples of emotional whimpering, fearful of anything that has the potential of pricking the superstitious bubble of faith.

you can use radioactive isotopes other than those of carbon to date things (things with longer half lives)
