IMHO, your view is a very healthy way for us to interpret this issue.

I appreciate that - I doubt it's terribly popular though :)

My own interpretations of the Bible, and the words within - unless being spoken by Jesus Himself, are not the measures of the faith. That's where the "divinely inspired" becomes problematic for me. It's one concept of faith to accept Jesus and His words, it's an entirely different leap to presume that the words of Paul should hold specific relevance, and then accept that only certain words of Paul (as not all of his letters ended up in the New Testament anyway).

I don't think the Bible is being "dishonest" when it comes to how it states the human race and the planet came into being - I just think that if God had tried to explain evolution, quantum mechanics, and such to early man we would have all descended into chaos and He would have probably just chosen to start over.
