Where does the C14 come from. Who cares its a rock. It could come from anywhere Bateria, contamination, radioactive decay. That doesn't matter these are rocks thus they are not organic. The point of Carbon 14 dating is to date organic material not rock. We have other dating metghods for dating rock.
What we have is a strawman.
Because there is Carbon trapped in a rock we have to disregard C14 dating? Thats silly. Scientists don't C14 date rocks because rocks are not organic. If they contain carbon it could be there for any reason in fact it HAS to be there for other reasons because most rocks aren't carbon based.

C-14 decays. Why is it STILL in the rocks?
