The Bible's composition was an arbitrary process. Those who formed it - and later reformed, and added to, and subtracted from it - chose what they thought promoted their theology best, and discarded anything which might contradict their position.

No gospels were taken "out" of the original Bible. This is a claim that is central to the books by Dan Brown, but has no basis in fact. There are other books that are labeled Gospels, such as the Gospel of Thomas, which were known in some parts of the early church but never given the same status as the canonical Gospels. Here is a link to some information about the set of these gospels known as the Gnostic gospels if you wish to do some further reading. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnostic_gospels
