Whether or not cells can manipulate their DNA, what follows from this assertion is vague rambling bullshit. Nor would it seem to assist creationists in any way, since it would suit them better to have the genome be immutable.

No, it wouldn't. The genome of the creationist would be pliable and controlled by the environment to go in predetermined paths.
​
Unless "the creationist" is the same creationist who swears blind that there are no beneficial mutations, rather than the creationist who has gotten so turned round in his head that he thinks he can argue against evolution by postulating mechanisms that would make it more efficient.
