Pope Benedict XVI endorsed this statement (before becoming pope):
"According to the widely accepted scientific account, the universe erupted 15 billion years ago in an explosion called the 'Big Bang' and has been expanding and cooling ever since. Later there gradually emerged the conditions necessary for the formation of atoms, still later the condensation of galaxies and stars, and about 10 billion years later the formation of planets. In our own solar system and on earth (formed about 4.5 billion years ago), the conditions have been favorable to the emergence of life. While there is little consensus among scientists about how the origin of this first microscopic life is to be explained, there is general agreement among them that the first organism dwelt on this planet about 3.5–4 billion years ago. Since it has been demonstrated that all living organisms on earth are genetically related, it is virtually certain that all living organisms have descended from this first organism. Converging evidence from many studies in the physical and biological sciences furnishes mounting support for some theory of evolution to account for the development and diversification of life on earth, while controversy continues over the pace and mechanisms of evolution." - Communion and Stewardship: Human Persons Created in the Image of God, plenary sessions held in Rome 2000–2002, published July 2004,

The above is absolutely true and people who get pissed off about Xmas and Xian don't realize they are Greek short forms for Christ that have been used since the 3rd centurty. Heck, does that mean the Chi-Rho symbol used extensively in churchs is also an slur? (Aw, slashdot won't let me insert HTML Greek char codes)
Please feel free to continue to use Xmas and Xian. There is no war on Christmas or Christ. As you were...
