carbon dating has indeed proved to be inaccurate when dating certain objects.
i dont recall the species, but there is a desert beetle that tests to be a couple thousand years old when in fact it is only one or 2 years old.
last i heard it happened with 2 or 3 specific types of objects. so carbon dating is not infallible.
there are other forms of dating more advanced than carbon dating. methods which test the halflife of other chemicals and elements. but as before, all of them have their "little glitches".
i am inclined to believe the tests more than i am inclined to use blind faith... but that is just me.
