In an earlier section we mentioned that the limit of the technique is about 55-60 000 years. Obviously, the limit of the method differs between laboratories dependent upon the extent to which background levels of radioactivity can be reduced. Amongst accelerator laboratories there has been mooted the theoretical possibility of extended range dating to 75 000 yr +, at present this seems difficult to attain because of the problems in accurately differentiating between ions that mimic the mass and charge characteristics of the C14 atom. Beukens (1994) for instance has stated that this means the limit of the range for his Isotrace laboratory is 60 000 yr which is very similar to the conventional range.
Footprint
terestingly enough, since these tracks have been discovered, evolutionists have not tried to argue their authenticity or debunk them. Nor have they tried to argue that the footprint isn't human. (Often they claim that it's a print that just "looks like" a human footprint.) Their very silence is deafening.
footprints
"On a scale of one to ten," says James Farlow, an Indiana University fossil-footprint expert, "I'd give the Robledos findings about a hundred. They've got everything: reptiles, amphibians, insects, gorgeous plant fossils, even some bone beds, all in the same rock. It's one of the best footprint faunas of any kind, any age, anywhere." The slabs that MacDonald has been splitting open and hauling out may contain evidence of more than 100 different animal and plant genera, many of which appear to be new to the world of paleontology.

Then maybe you can tell me what process they use to date things that are beyond the science of carbon dating?
I am just curious...I have no idea and aside from carbon dating that was the proof of an artifacts age for so long (and now that is unreliable)...what is the process for dating back millions of years, and how much credit does it get?

to help clarify for you, there is no way to use carbon dating on items that are older than 10-20k years. While you are correct that carbon dating has been shown to be a very poor way to date items, it is not relevant when discussing dating items that are millions of years old.
One thing: knowing when the sandstone was made, and how long it take to form, having a footprint set in stone is kind of irrefutable. I have seen some of the footprints up in Dallas. they are a interesting, but not as convincing as other artifacts I have seen.

So if this is true that would make both the ape theory and the bible are completely wrong right? Therefore there is another reason why we came to be?
