Wow, ever hear of the term crack, as in what are you smoking?
Carbon based means that it structure is based in carbon and its chemical properties. Like "carbon based life", not that non-carbon based life has been found yet.

Uh, once again NO!
Radiocarbon(C14) dating is good for once living material and only back 60,000 years, or so.
Maybe a little further with very sensitive isotope separation via a accelerator.
What do you think coals radiocarbon content is?
Given that it can be over 280 million years old and the half-life of C14 is approx 5,700 years?
There are other radioactive elements used to date things that are inorganic and/or older than the current radiocarbon limit.
Check out U/Pb, K/Ar, or U/Th dating techniques.
How do you think the Earth's age was determined to be 3.8 Billion years old.
So far as I know no living organisms or there remains have been detected from this period, so how did they date the rock via C14?
