I don't believe it's Scripturally-sound to elevate any human being above the rest of humanity.

You do think Jesus is true God and true man? He is a human being, and he is above the rest of humanity.

Let me rephrase that for clarification:

"I don't believe it's Scripturally-sound to elevate any human being (excluding Jesus Christ, who in addition to being a man is the third and equal member of the holy Trinity; God incarnate; savior of the Elect, ordained by God from before the foundation of the world) above the rest of humanity."

And yes, I do think it's possible that Jesus Christ, God incarnate, can and was born of a human woman. God's miracles know no bounds.

By that fact, we, like Mary and Elizabeth and Joseph and Augustine and Mother Teresa and you and me, are fortunate indeed.
