What a coincidence; I have a problem with the literalist theists' problem with carbon dating. Consider: to said literalist, a fossil is 'carbon-dated' to be millions of years old. Which cannot be true, because the biblical age of the Earth makes that conclusion impossible. Thus 'carbon-dating' doesn't work and lots of ways have to found to 'prove' that the technique imparts a greater age to the sample than it actually has.
However, when the Turin Shroud was tested (this time actually using carbon-dating) it was dated to be many centuries younger than tradition demanded, instead of some millions of years older as the dating technique apparently does with any other sample tested.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
