We're Sorry - Scientific American
This article describes how researchers using chicken embryos accidentaly discovered (in a mutant embryo that didn't hatch) small teeth similar to those of an aligator. The teeth are homologus to baby aligator teeth.
This mutation is due to an 80-million year old reptile gene (found in living reptiles as well). The question is, why would a chicken have this gene?
How could this be possible from a creationist perspective?
I would imagine chickens are part of the bird 'kind', so why does it have the genes for teeth of the reptile 'kind'?
