This is simply not true.  Evolution is an observable fact, the only aspect 
which is not understood in a very complete way is the mechanisms in the 
environment and in biology through which this happens.

What's this got to do with Zen?  Well, clearly, there are two camps.  Some 
believe that Zen evolves, others believe it was created perfect.  I'm in 
the camp that's content with it either way, as long as it doesn't evolve 
into Hinduism.
