Quote:Correct (they use "estimation"), but the point of whether carbon-dating is relevant and reliable still stands and I stand in the positive within certain contexts.

What I meant was that radiocarbon dating isn't among the dating tools scientists use to even 'estimate' the age of this planet.

Quote:Carbon dating cannot be used reliably for all materials, but it can be used for things like ancient manuscripts very reliably.

Which has bugger all to do with the age of the Earth.
