Your absolutely right.  And one of the biggest problems with C-14 dating
is that it is dated in a "perfect environment".  So no elements are allowed
during the breakdown period.  Think there ever was even one day in the
history of
the world that there was no temperature change, no weather change or no
chemical breakdown in the earth's atmosphere?  C-14 is nothing than a
process to show that the earth and its elements are older than the Bible
shows they are.
                                         In CHRIST,
                                             Jim
