Yes, but you would make that Christological grounding explicit ONLY IF it
is to function as a Christian doctrinal statement and NOT as a statement of
presupposition for the historical natural sciences generally. As I have
repeatedly said, the RFEP is stated to satisfy the latter role, not the
former.

Yes, of course it could do that for a major portion of the CHRISTIAN
community, but then the larger SCIENTIFIC community could not sign on
because of its exclusively Christian content.
