Anything is possible in that regard but there has been years of validating experiments showing the veracity of C14 dating, since they know N14 is converted by cosmic rays to C14 on a steady basis and they know by watching how fast C14 converts. If you go to a lab that measures that stuff, they can take a fresh sample and put it in a jar inside a box in a lab where no new C14 is being made and see the conversion directly, a tiny bit goes each year. There have been long term studies on that effect.
Believe me, if that effect were to be refuted, some scientist would make his lifelong reputation on the refutation of that effect but nobody has refuted it yet.
Creationists can claim, make charges and such but don't forget, they are not interested in doing actual research, they have an agenda to destroy a science, which they do not do through scientific experimentation, they do it through distorting the data or just saying, that ain't right, and with political court battle attacks on evolution and such and C14 dating is in the way so out it goes as a real science in creationists eyes.
Its funny how these sciences can be poo poo'd by creationists when the science involved uses the exact same scientific method used by geologists, microbiologists, math experts, psychologists, atmosphere sciences, chemistry, etc., all those sciences use exactly the same scientific method to produce results, make predictions and generate new scientific information but only those that get in the way of creationists are called false, dishonest, big conspiracy and all that.
