Today's Question
How does carbon-14 dating work?
Hey, what I can't figure out is carbon dating. They can carbon date the Shroud of Turin, and realize it wasn't made 2,000 years ago, right? Well, before it was shroud, it was, like, wool or something, and before it was wool or something, it was hairs on a sheep's back, right? Blah, blah, blah (you can see where I'm going with this). So at what point does something's carbon b-day start? Am I missing the point entirely here? I need your help, man.
