Carbon dating accuracy has been called into question a bunch of time. Iirc there is another method of dating stuff that is more accurate depending on the material being dated...

Also, science by necessity can not be true. The truth is unfalsifiable while any scientific theory must be falsifiable.

Consistent data that can be proven to be consistent by other scientists around the world.
and that's all that matters, until proven wrong.

This. Any decent scientist understands how extrapolation works.

It's all the dumbass grade school teachers who have no idea about real science (and unfortunately, bad text books) messing people up on what is believed, what is most likely, what makes the most sense vs what is actually true
