HUGE difference between say, being a collector and an editor. "Compile" does not mean the same as editing" or " rewriting".
The Nicaean Council didn't butcher prior writings or rewrite prior writings. They simply voted on what writings they thought most reflected their own intent and political desires.
Was that "Council" any better than any holy person or clergy or soothsayer, or Imam or Guru or ABBA FAN? FUCK NO!
The Nicaean Christians were no like any other upstart religious morons, who thought they knew the truth of the world and wanted to create the first "book" on their efforts.
I'd say that they were no more correct than any Muslim or Jew or Christian or Hindu or Buddhist today, that thing they got it right.
If L. Ron. Hubbard can concoct Scientology, then what makes any human think that Christianity, or Islam or Buddhism or Hinduism or the Jewish Faith is any more credible?
I love the compassion of my fellow humans. I think we are extremely capable of such. But I will always hate that far to many humans favor their own egos, and tribalism over reason and facts and pragmatism.

They did no such thing. This is the agenda of the Council of Nicaea:
-The Arian question.
-When to celebrate Easter.
-What to do about Melitius.
-Internal church discipline.
They didn't vote on church writings, which books were canon,, etc. There is no such thing as a 'Nicene Bible'.
