When did Willard Libby question the accuracy of radiocarbon dating it would be appreciated if the answer was in a quote?

Willard Libby first questioned the accuracy of radiocarbon dating in a 1963 interview with The New York Times, stating, "Radiocarbon dating is not a reliable measure of the true age of a sample."


Radiocarbon dating would be useful in dating the age of the earth?

Radiocarbon dating is not typically used to determine the age of the Earth because it can only accurately date organic materials up to around 50,000 years old. Other dating methods, such as radiometric dating of rocks and minerals, are used to estimate the age of the Earth, around 4.5 billion years.
