Not at all. Now, let’s put the shoe on the other foot for a moment:
When you get to Heaven, and God tells you that He created the Universe and everything in it just as it is described in Genesis, how do you suppose you will feel knowing you spent your entire adult life arguing against it?
How will you feel if you get there and he tells you it really didn't matter much if you though it took 6 days or billions of years because time wasn't really important?
Thank you, my dear brother. I have a feeling that, when we get to heaven, every believer will find that they were mistaken about many aspects of God and his creation.
As a humorous example, for some reason at age 3 or 4 I decided that God looked liked Mr. Greenjeans on Captain Kangaroo. Even today, if you were to ask me out of the blue what God looks like, the first visual impression that comes to my mind is Mr. Greenjeans.
Rationality kicks in a fraction of a second later, and I know that God the Father is a spirit being and has no body. Still, it's hard-wired into my brain that God looks like Mr. Greenjeans.
I don't expect God to hold me accountable for this mistake, but he will hold me accountable to other mistakes. And, yes, it's entirely possible that I could be wrong about the timing and method of creation!
All I can do is put myself at the mercy of Jesus Christ to cover my sins with his healing blood.

I don't accept your premise. I'm not arguing against Genesis, only your interpretation of it. In general, IIRC, your scriptural theology is too close to scriptural idolatry from my view.
Anyway, if He told me your interpretation of Genesis were correct, I'd likely feel the same as you would if He told you your interpretation is wrong. I think in both cases, factors other than our interpreted result of science from Genesis will over-weigh. I.e., I believe that we will be concerned about much more important things.
My question was to look at whether your faith could be lost (or gained) due to a scientific finding. To have a faith or a scriptural interpretation subject to science would be an obvious category error.
We may be able to agree on this part anyway.
Thanks again for your thoughtful reply.
