If I command a monkey to spontaneously eveolve into a human being, and the monkey just sits there, does that disprove evolutionaey theory? Does it disprove anything at all? Or is it just silliness?
Evolutionary theory states that one species evolves from another over millions of years, not spontaneously. So in order for your test to be correct, you would have to wait several million years and see what the primates become.
However, creation theory is that DNA and genes are meaningless. God spontaneously made everything poof into existence and, as an all-powerful being, has the capability to make one thing spontaneously poof into another. Creation/biblical theory stipulates that God would have no trouble spontaneously turning a jar of pasta sauce into a goat or Buffy the Vampire Slayer (hoping for the latter - I really, really miss that series).
This makes the experiment in the video valid (by the rules set out by the Creationists).
