Based on science alone it's a very incomplete picture, but the only one we have. Should we teach bad science, or none at all?

You don't seem to understand the realitity of science. In science it's okay to not know everything. In fact lack of knowledge presupposes the discovery thereof. That doesn't mean that because a theory can't explain everything it's bad science. It means that we are continuously discovering new knowledge. That is not the same thing at all as creationism which pretends to know everything up front because some ancient mumbo jumbo claims it.
