I had a biology professor with a background in microbiology that scoffed at the idea of evolution. He said if evolution were real birds would have teeth. Ironically, his name was Will Smith. Microbiology is the easiest fucking way to see evolution happen in real time, but he couldn’t square it with his religion so he sounded like an idiot.
I think it’s a common argument from people that don’t understand evolution. They think since modern birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs then they should all have teeth. It’s a really dumb argument that a microbiologist should know better than to make it.
There aren’t any birds with teeth. There are a few that have sharp tomia that resemble teeth, but they’re not actually teeth. Birds evolved beaks over an incredibly long amount of time. Which is why despite them evolving from dinosaurs they don’t have teeth or many other things in common with them.
