Logos/Dao

I read a Chinese commentator some time back who argued that, just as
the Logos in pagan Greek religious thought is the organizing force 
through which the universe was created, so the Dao (Tao) in Chinese 
religious thought is the organizing force through which the universe 
was created.  Therefore, a dynamic translation of Logos into Chinese 
is Dao.  Does anyone know both Greek and Chinese who can tell me if 
Chinese translations of the Bible actually translate Logos with the 
word Dao?

If this is not an appropriate question for this mailing list, just 
email me.  Thanks!
