The “classic fossil of Archaeopteryx” is not a transitional form either, but was fully bird. Its “reptile-like” teeth and wing claws are found in some birds today.8 Many reptiles have no teeth, but nobody claims that they evolved from birds.

Wow. And you accept this as fact?

FWIW, The Hoatzin, a south american bird, has wing claws as juveniles. The Emu has wing claws on it's tiny, useless wings as well.

Concerning the teeth of the Archaeoteryx, there is an interesting article here with several quotes from non-creationists regarding it's alleged ancestry: http://www.darwinismrefuted.com/natural_history_2_07.html#127

Also, several other extinct birds have been discovered that had teeth, see http://www.oceansofkansas.com/marsh73.html

Turtles, considered reptiles, do not have teeth. However, snakes, lizards and alligators do have teeth.
