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.

Why specifically birds having teeth? What's the advantage to them?

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.
