Evolutionists: Are there any snaggle-toothed birds?

As a world-renowned award-winning Creationist I can tell you most plainly that I find snaggle-toothed piscivores fascinating. If, as you say, these things evolved, then this characteristic has evolved multiple times in various vertebrate lineages. Apparently being snaggle-toothed is an excellent means of catching fish.

So here're the questions:

1. Are there any snaggle-toothed birds? How about an unevenly serrated beak?

2. If not, why not?

NOTE: This is a just-for-fun question. When I look at such characteristics, I think "common Creator" rather than "convergent evolution." With the Earth being only 6,015 years old, there hasn't been time for evolution of structures like this!

    I'm not aware of any toothed birds, let alone snaggle-toothed ones. Or is that your point? Are you asking if not having teeth is a case of convergent evolution?

    In any case, you're still wrong. Birds not having teeth is evidence of the Fall in the Garden of Eden. Prior to the Original Sin™, there was no death or predation. The lack of teeth in birds is a sort of Edenic pleisiomorphy testifying to the grand lovingness of the Creator.

    emucompb, you are so well versed in biology and you're answers are thorough and informed. I was surprised to read that you are a Creationist and that you state that the age of the earth is 6,015 years old. Do you contend that radiometric dating is not accurate?

    If your argument is Evolution would make better designs than God, it seems counter to the idea that God is perfect.
