    As a geologist I hate to throw sand in the face of this creator but the limit of radiometric dating using Carbon isotopes is roughly 50,000 years whereas all species of non-avian dinosaurs went extinct some 66.4 MILLION YEARS AGO.

      Dinosaur fossils are significantly older, dating back millions of years. To accurately date these fossils, scientists use other radiometric dating techniques that rely on isotopes with longer half-lives, such as potassium-argon dating and uranium-lead dating. These methods can accurately date rocks and minerals that are billions of years old.
      Therefore, while carbon-14 dating is not suitable for dating dinosaur fossils, other radiometric dating techniques have provided strong evidence for the age of dinosaurs and the timing of their extinction.
