    What evidence is there that carbon dating is reliable over thousands/millions or billions of years.

    Is there a scientist that can say yes, the dating is correct : that is 4 billion years old, I know cause I was there then.
    How is carbon dating verified over such long periods.

    Scientists think they know things but occassionally realise they dont.
