If it was written by scientists 2,000-2,600 years ago it probably wouldn't read much different than it does, except to be even more boring and pedantic in some areas. Science doesn't (or shouldn't) write "bibles." A bible is what you write when you claim to have all of the answers already. Science cannot do that.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

The thing is, if scientists wrote the bible, it likely would not be a bible in the first place. Rather, a documentary of different findings in nature.
Eg: Today I found a bug with 8 legs and 2 hooked fangs. It was threading a net made from some silky material at its backside.
Or
It is "spring" time and I can see plants already sprouted. Some flowers have closed bulbs and some are open.

I have always been of the belief that if it cannot be explained with reason so that absolutely anyone can also reasonably construe the idea as truth, then it is merely something of personal affiliation that cannot in any way be held anywhere near the validity of knowledge.
hmm. I happen to think that my faith stance matches this test. Given the same information, I would fully expect any person to reach the same conclusions.

Then by all means, share the information with the world. I can guarantee that it will not hold up to reason and logic, thus ensuring that not every one becomes a believer.

You know, unless You have some advanced technology that maps out people's thought patterns via the internet, maybe You do know and can judge! Anyways.
Are you dodging the subject? 
Don't worry my friend. I can only take your words to mean what they appear to mean. I don't think you meant them that way, but then where did your objection go? No hard feelings

Haha.
Do you always make bold claims about subjects you know nothing about?
Have you got any other predictions about the future?

Not always. When I do, I am usually right.
