Are there any other books from God?

If God was the one who revealed the Bible, then it should be in conformity with the modern sciences since He is the one who created everything.
And since we know that the Bible has many contradictions with modern science, we can conclude that the Bible was written entirely or partially by humans.

There is another book that is claimed to be from God: the Quran. And there is a claim that it is with perfect conformity with the modern science. Here is a link to more details on this subject:

Or that modern science is wrong.

The Bible when it was written was not a book; it was a collection of writings. Many of the writings were done at different times and by different authors. The fact that they were collected and published together is a human thing. There is little internal evidence that the writers of one part believed that the other parts were from God. There is very little internal evidence that God stopped revealing stuff to his prophets. And there is no internal evidence that the sixty-six books identified by the protestants as being the Bible are the correct list. Arguments can and have been made to include or exclude certain writings. It does seem rather odd that a God who wants to communicate critically important information with his own creation, made in his own image and dearly loved by him, would leave these loose ends.
Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
First Epistle to the Church of the Thessalonians
The truth will make you free.

I agree with you. But I think this can be explained by the fact that during the time of these revelations, it was not easy to write on the things available at that time. So, I believe, God with his wisdom revealed these revelations as a temporary message until the circumstances are appropriate for a revelation that can be preserved. With the same main message as in previous revelations. So God didn't leave any loose ends. It is just that we need to read the other book that is claimed to be from God: the Quran.
