Kurt Gödel’s evolution problem..

I hope I am posting this right. I friend send me this and I could find nothing on the Internet if this was refuted or not. Its from Kurt Gödel who was critical of evolution, yes he was a believer in god but I want to know if his criticism was looked at and refuted:

Quote:

Gödel’s argument is that if evolution is unfolding from an initial state by mathematical laws of physics, it cannot generate any information not inherent from the start – and in his view, neither the primaeval environment nor the laws are information-rich enough. In other words, either information must be added later, or some currently invisible front-loading would be necessary. The one mathematical impossibility, he says, is the spontaneous generation of the (specified) complexity of life simply by random variation and selection from nothing.

Here is the same stuff but with more math:

Quote:

Gödel also once expressed a concern about the mathematical underpinnings of evolution. Writing to his colleague Hao Wang he noted "The formation within geological time of a human body by the laws of physics (or any other laws of similar nature), starting from a random distribution of elementary particles and the field, is as unlikely as the separation by chance of the atmosphere into its components."

Thanks for your time reading this and your replies. I hope I am right here in this sub-forum.
