"Very little is known about why evolution (nature god)

 Interesting. The evolution god does seem to work in mysterious ways. I hope they know more about developing drugs than  protein evolution.

About two paragraphs later.

"In this issue of Molecular Cell, Foit et al. (2009) have created a very interesting genetic selection-based approach to understand protein stability in the cell."

I think that you misunderstand science. It's a process. Scientists don't start off with an answer, they find it. Just because one paper says something ambiguously related to certain areas of evolution being complicated, or "mysterious", doesn't mean you can take it out of context.

These people did say that the selection of protein sequences are an area where knowledge is lacking, but they are also looking to explain the mechanics better.

No scientist would ever say we know 100% of everything on a certain subject, evolution being one of them.

 
No I didn't misunderstand science  (science is done by man) yet it obvious they haven't figure out enough about protein development and folding to be dogmatic about it. I do believe with time we will understand more about proteins  not neccesary the evolution story telling.

 I added god since it fits ,  sometimes "evolution" is nothing but a nature god. 

 P.S I don't rejected the whole article when it comes to science. Often I find can put out evolution totally out of an article without touching the science within.
