Perhaps Allah should have stayed in school and got a degree, then he would have one of the better upper-management divine positions instead of what is clearly an entry-level factory-floor manual-labour position.
Probably because he never provided citations for his work. :D

I wonder why people in this day and age still pass of holy books as scientific. They'd be more scientific (and consistent) if B&B wrote them.

Because, we are all born ignorant and most religion is designed to keep us that way. The majority of people follow the religion without ever really examining what there is behind it.
