You are aware that carbon dating isn`t used to date rocks? I'd hate to think you were spouting off about something that you don`t know anything about again. I trust you also know that carbon dating can only measure over a limited time-frame, and *no* scientist would make the claim that it can date something 1 billion years old. At the very best it can date things within a range up to 100,000 years from present, and that is only using some advanced techniques.
