As Pilgrim said, Absolutely!

Absolutely not. How could one err too much in that direction? My point was that the only authority we have regarding origins is God's Word and that only He can speak with 100% authority. Is there a higher view possible?

My concern is that the statement "If I found out with 100% certainty that theistic evolution is true ..." implies there could be a higher authority or source of truth than God's Word. IMO, that "opens a door." I suppose one could say the "Thankfully, that will never happen" serves the same function as my "after I die" but, IMO, is even less clear because it gives no hint as to why it will never happen.

I think we are all in agreement on basics, just trying to agree on how to best express our beliefs.
