"GEOCHEMISTRY : Dating Service Radiocarbon dating is the preeminent method for determining the age of carbonaceous materials younger than about 50,000 years . The determination of accurate calendar ages from radiocarbon ages requires a calibration curve , though , because the production of 14C and its distribution between atmospheric , oceanic , and terrestrial carbon reservoirs both vary with time . Charged with the task of producing the official calibration curve for terrestrial radiocarbon dating , the IntCal working group has just released the latest version , IntCal04 . Reimer et al . present this new curve , which replaces the previous version that has been in effect since 1998 . IntCal04 extends the calibration backward by 2000 years , to 26,000 calendar years before the present ( cal yr B.P. , where the present is defined as 1950 ) , increases the resolution of the period earlier than 11,400 cal yr B.P. , and considers the uncertainty in both the calendar age and the 14C age in the calibration . Tree ring data contribute the bulk of the ages in the interval between today and 12,400 cal yr B.P. , and marine data from corals and foraminifera provide the calibration for samples older than 12,400 years . Associated papers in the same issue describe the details of this impressive and valuable achievement . -- HJS Radiocarbon 46 , 1029 ( 2005 ) ."
"So how can evilutionists have any confidence in carbon dating if they keep updating the calibration curve ? Huh ?"
