* The word Moon (قمر, ''al-qamr'') occurs 27 times scientific miracle.
** The word Moon appears 27 times with various prefixes<ref>http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=qmr</ref>. Words with these prefixes were excluded in the 365 days miracle, so why are we suddenly counting them?
** There are many things that could be measured about the Moon, so if the word count hits one of those things, it is not very amazing and it is actually very probable.
** The Moon's orbit around the Earth takes 29.5 days (synodic period) with respect to the Earth and 27.3 days with respect to the stars (sidereal period) <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_period</ref>. So even when it comes to the orbit period, the Qur'an had already two chances (or 3, when we include 29 and 30).
*** 27.3 is not 27. Why Allah didn't choose some whole number, like mentioning the word only once, since the Moon is the Earths only natural satellite? He could also mention other planets and their satellites. Why Allah doesn't speak about other planets? And if he cares especially about our planet, then why he didn't mention the 29 days orbit period with respect to the Earth?
