Where do we get the bigger picture, then? The Bible? The problem with that is that it makes things less clear, not more so. Creationism is a lot less coherent a model of Earth's diversity than evolution.
To answer your question, the Bible is where you get the bigger picture, actually, the biggest picture which is beyond our finite understanding.
"The Bible is often surprisingly accurate in historical particulars, more so than earlier generations of scholar ever suspected... After more than two centuries of facing the heaviest scientific guns that could be brought to bear, the Bible has survived- and is perhaps the better for the siege." Time Magazine Dec. 1974

Re: Group response
Re the historical accuracy of the bible 248 — this is not necessarily in question unless you include the book of Genesis. Here, we have a book written several thousand years ago which is being presented as more accurate than the SToE — that’s too much of a stretch.
Why is it too much of a stretch? Because it was written several thousand years ago? It would be an error to doubt the credibility of any book or document just because its old.
this is not necessarily in question unless you include the book of Genesis
If most of the Bible is not in question like you said then why would just the book of Genesis be historically inaccurate? What if I said I held the Origin of Species to be completely true except for the first chapter, it's the same principle.
