latest Ark Carbon-14?

"Any first year Chemistry student knows that you can't accurately carbon date anything that has been submerged in the ocean for a period of time, therefore if this was Noah's Ark carbon dating wouldnt be applicable." Dr J, Is this true? and if it is what impact would that have on carbon dating? Your Sister in Christ -Ellen-

Don't forget that the C-14 atmospheric equilibrium error would indeed throw off any dates gotten by the C-14 method for Noah's Ark, anyway. Wood cut 4458-4358 years ago, would likely end up getting dated as more like 7500-8000 years old, given that the C-14 amount in our air was rising then, and still is now.
