Goedel's theorems support MR, in a way that it appears that mathematics was not invented to describe nature (it can't prove itself to be self contained) but mathematics was discovered to be part of nature (one needs to go outside the system to prove its completeness). If mathematics was discovered and it is part of reality then whatever you can describe mathematically will have a counterpart in nature. I personaly don't like this conclusion myself and like to view math as just another tool as well, however Goedels theorems and its implications are hard to ignore, if I interpreted them right
