First off, I would like to see a source that says Radiocarbon dating is wrong.

Now, I am going to go out on a limb here, and guess at what you are getting at.

Back in the day, it was believed that Radiocarbon dating could be used even if the subject was millions of years old. We found that it was not, so maybe that is what you are talking about for it being wrong. It can accurately test carbonaceous materials up to about 60,000 years old (before 2001 it was only accurate to about 15,000 years, but we found out about some stuff that made it so we could better calibrate stuff and gave us an additional 45,000 years to work with). After that it is no longer accurate.

There are now other more accurate methods that test samples that are older.
