Scienists find chicken with naturally formed crocodile teeth

The team, based at the Universities of Manchester and Wisconsin, have also managed to induce teeth growth in normal chickens -- activating genes that have lain dormant for 80 million years.


Personally, I'm looking forward to hearing what the "intelligent design" crowd has to say.

    Sounds like sound ID reasoning to me!

    There are two kinds of ID proponents: those that take the Biblical story of 7 day creation literally, and those that do not. The latter have no problems with the theory of macroevolution; what they are in opposition to is the notion that _natural selection_ furnishes the best possible explanation for phenomenon of macroevolution. They will argue that a Higher Intelligence of some sort (i.e., "God") has had a hand in it somewhere, and that this is evident in the breathtaking complexity of biological organisms.
