There is no miracle to be found here. Apologists have manipulated data and used an un-Islamic method of counting days within a year to make the (unverified) numbers "fit".

But let's say for a moment the 365 occurrences of the word "yawm" is a mathematically sound citation. If this was discovered at a time when people did not know how many days there were in a year then it may be considered a miracle, but calenders have existed since 3000 BC, and the Julian calendar (which consisted of 365 or 366 days) began in 45 BC.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Julian_calendar&oldid=406578579 Julian calendar] - Wikipedia, accessed January 16, 2011</ref>

This is one of the most oft-quoted but there are more such dubious mathematical claims but they are equally deceitful. But putting that aside, even if ''day'' or ''yawm'' was mentioned 365 times in the Qur'an, would that mean it is from Allah?
