There are many more on the Internet.
This is an article about the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, which has indeed fluctuated significantly. However, radiocarbon dating is based on the ratio between two specific types of atmospheric carbon, not the total level of all carbon. That ratio has only varied slightly, and the amount it has varied is known by calibration with tree ring data. Dates given may be given as calibrated or uncalibrated, with uncalibrated dates running from 10-20% under the actual age of the specimen according to Wikipedia (Wikipedia: ). Moreover, the article you have cited refers to changes over 500 million years, which is five orders of magnitude larger than the range of ages over which radiocarbon dating is useful, making it doubly irrelevant.
So the "evidence" you link to is no such thing. Denied!
I doubt you would recognize actual evidence if it bit you in the ass.
But the amount of C-14 in the atmosphere is dependent of how much nitrogen is converted by radiation into C-14. The nitrogen level could not have been much higher than its current level of 78%. If the radiation hitting the atmosphere is the same. There is the same concentration of C14. But the ratio of C-14 to C-12 is almost 20 times less if ther is 20 times the amount of CO2.
Also the radiation hitting the atmosphere was less before the flood.
