The other interesting thing about this is how aptly it demonstrates the focus of apologetics; each of these arguments is broached in a vacuum, without any interest in whether they hang together as a coherent worldview. The idea that the bible is metaphor-packed is contradicted by the idea that the biblical authors needed to simplify their prose to suit the times, but they both serve their purpose in silencing one or another specific anti-christian argument.
So long as they've done that, and shut down conversation on their purpose-built avenues, then it matters not whether they mesh or not. They aren't a part of actual christian belief, they're tailor made weapons designed to silence dissent so the apologist doesn't need to think about it any more.
