Comment:	I believe the following article does a pretty job at explaining the low levels of C14 found when carbon dating diamond/coal etc... http://www.asa3.org/ASA/education/origins/carbon-kb.htm Quick question also. Have ALL diamonds that have been examined show significant C14 residues? Or are they the exception to the rule? So far I have only found 1 reference to six diamonds tested from a Namibian mine, tested and funded by a creationist group, which whilst I respect their findings is not exactly unbiased sourcing. Put another way, if examining data on drug effects in the research base, you wouldn't include research funded by a pharmaceutical group for a product they sell. As for the other isotopic dating techniques, maybe you would care to share the links or state the articles which you feel make them suspect. That way we could all learn a bit more about it, as despite what you say, finding the credible scientific data for either side of the debate is tricky and not well laid out on either creationist or evolutionary sites.
