Re: Cause of mutation?
Don't forget retroviruses- They are currently believed is how new innovations occur and because they are involved in regulatory functions that they can modify bone structure, scales into feathers, etc. The fact that they are species specific and target a specific chromosome in alteration is important. Creation vs evolution debate will continue because retroviruses can be viewed either way.

Re: Cause of mutation?
Is there a retrovirus mutation or mutation that indicates the point when the genes started forming feathers and what else does those genes do in the host?
