Carbon-14 provides dates back to the tens of thousands BP. It's a problem for young-earthers who have shackled themselves to Bishop Usher's proposed creation date in 4004BC, but I don't think most proponents of the young Earth do stick to that any more. His methodology was was very suspect anyway, and there are gaps in the Genesis genealogy that aren't that hard to spot.
