You do. It's called 'The Bible'........................

The Bible, though it contains some general background of creation, is, as far as the rest of the universe is concerned, in the same relationship as a pamphlet on the history of Hamtramck compared to everything ever written about world history, probably even less. It doesn't mean it isn't true. It just isn't exhaustive, either with respect to the universe at large or to the earth in particular, much less anything to do outside its stated scope.

I agree, with one exception, with your post #90. You’re quite right that the Bible is far from exhaustive—it gives us only (1) information that most people in most eras would comprehend and (2) just what we need for salvation. But the Bible goes well beyond “some general background of creation,” with twenty-five or so chapter-length or longer specific (and now scientifically proven) descriptions of creation; beyond Genesis there are important substantive passages in Job, Psalms, Proverbs, etc., etc.
