Goedel's theorem is only a problem if you assume that intelligence is complete. (where complete means: able to determine whether any formal statement is true or false). We know that anything running on a computer is incomplete (e.g. Turing halting problems). For any of this to be interesting, Penrose would have to demonstrate that human intelligence is complete in some sense of the word. This seems highly unlikely. Superficially, human intelligence is not remotely complete since it is frequently unable to answer questions that have yes or no answers, and even worse, is frequently wrong. So not complete, either.
