What I take from what I've learned is that His mechanism for getting things done is what evolutionary science has figured out. If you keep busy insisting on telling God how He did things, you're likely not listening to the evidence.
Now, about examples... you ask about a particular process. Nobody who knows what they are talking about claims that science cannot understand things if any part of the natural world remains undocumented, which is essentially what your claims hang upon. This is standard-fare religious antievolution procedure, to ignore those places where good data has been acquired and to insist that places without such good data are somehow fraught with significance. The reason people aren't falling over themselves concerning your argument about E. coli amino acid handling is that it merits no more than a shrug. Somebody with unreasonable doubt insists upon video-tape-level evidence for something that happened over a billion years ago before they'll credit science with having any answers about "life's systems", and the reaction of anyone with a clue is either to move on to something productive or to poke them with a rhetorical stick. The fact that some people chose the stick doesn't validate the argument.
