[Sceintists created a computer program that uses the process of evolution to make complex 'living' virtual structures out of the smallest life.]
They designed a computer program to make it! They contradicted themselves!

The computer program is the virtual universe, with relevant natural laws, local environment and some simple self-replicating life. Unless in subscribing to the theory of evolution one has to deny the existence of any of these things, there is no contradiction. You'd have to be ass to propose there would be.
They designed a computer program to mimic some of the known mechanisms of evolution, and apparently it works. If anything, that's in favor of evolution. Similar to when scientists plugged variables like gravity and matter into a computer - TAH DAH! They saw the same web-like galaxy formations that we know exist.
[]...uses the process of evolution to make complex 'living' virtual structures out of the smallest life...
I think he means it's a contradiction because they had to design a program to set up all the conditions of the universe rather than just let it all come about by itself.
So, instead of running a computer model, how does he want scientists to do any sort of experimentation on the subject? Observe a second universe forming and watching sample planets in it for 15 billion years?
To those who don't know what this is about:
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
