God made it all, and all of the scientist in the world can't change that.
Well, it starts out lying about Lenski's long term E. coli evolution experiment. Being able to metabolize citrate is not a minor change. Being citrate negative is in the very definition of E. coli. The dishonest streak continues. They fully admit the group previously showed how it could have easily evolved from the proposed ancestral receptor. The reverse being unlikely doesn't affect a thing, since it didn't evolve in reverse. This is typical Evolution News and Views. They cannot directly challenge the overwhelming evidence supporting common descent, so they lie and distort data constantly. Edit: To be brief, for the receptor to evolve back to its ancestral state, first five separate mutations would have to happen. Each mutation kills the receptor, so genetic drift alone would be responsible. Once these five mutations are made, then the receptor could mutate to the functional ancestral form. This makes it very, very, very unlikely, but still technically possible. While interesting, this means little. The same group discovered only a few mutations are needed to switch from the ancestral to the modern form. Once there those five mutations each make its new function better, so there was a selective pressure for them, but they also locked away from the older state.
