There is nothing quite like leaving yourself an out big enough to drive a bus through. In other words, the bible is infallible and inerrant except for the parts that aren't. And who gets to make these determinations? I guess anyone that needs to be deluded so they believe their religion.
You appear to have summarized non-fundamentalist (sophisticated? academic?) theology quite succinctly:
- Follow the contemporary moral zeitgeist of your society.
- Accept the reality of the physical world.
- Torture the living shit out of language in an effort to pretend that the Bible offers some unique insight (or compatibility) with regard to either of the previous two principles.
