"Because there is Carbon trapped in a rock we have to disregard C14 dating?"
C-14 decays. Why is it STILL in the rocks?

Why is it STILL in the rocks? Beause it's being produced there, or its being carried in there.

It's not "still in the Rock". Rock doesnt contain C14 unless the C14 is contamination from another source. A rock (fossil) is not organic any organic material in a rock is added from another source. C14 dating a rock is like C14 dating a piece of plastic if you find c14 in the plastic you know for a fact its contamination and thats all.
