Well, if one goes to the article posted by [DPD Web] Shen Shi'an , one finds 
it embedded in a Buddhist blog with various postings, homilies, etc. I 
haven't actually seen a Buddhist blog before, so found it of interest and 
relevance.
As for the article on non-acceptance in the USA of evolution sent by Weng 
Fai, I find it useful to be reminded of the delusions about science and the 
attempted controls over science being master-minded by Christian 
fundamentalists in the USA, ruled today by a non-scientist fundamentalist, 
in the land of No Buddha.
