A team of researchers gave a presentation at the 2012 Western Pacific Geophysics Meeting in Singapore, August 13–17, at which they gave 14C dating results from many bone samples from eight dinosaur specimens. Although the fossils were geologically dated to be over 65 million years old (Cretacious-Jurassic age), C14 dating showed they were less than 40,000 years old.

Something is not right here.

Yeah...you and your idiotic story.

C14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. After 65 million years, there would be nothing left. In fact, the short half life means C14 dating is a technique with a limit of about 50,000 years or so. Longer time periods require different methods.

QED.

Maybe they're not 65+ Million years old.

Not.

The conflict remains.

Between reality and YECs?  Yep.  Always will.
