The Bible is a collection of books, not an entire work. The earliest book of the Bible was probably written before 3000 BC and the latest by 120 AD.

The bible has been around for a long time. It is hard to mark an exact date of its creation since it's been rewritten many times, but one can date its existence to around 300 to 500 A.D. Of course this could be wrong, but with this book, it is really hard to gauge its creation date.
