Birds do not have teeth. And if a fossil of a "bird" with teeth were ever discovered, it would be classified as a transitional fossil. Yet, ironically, scientists are able to manipulate the genes of a chicken, so that it grows teeth - something chickens had earlier in their evolutionary progress. (have seen the photos?) http://images.livescience.com/images/060222_chicken_teeth_02.jpg
It also convinces me that...
For an animal to mutate back to a previous state does not require slow and gradual evolution, but rather, can happen in one generation. So for a person to be born with 8 limbs (like a spider), or sprout wings (like a bird) is no longer science fiction.
