Although the Qur'an itself admits being inconsistent by adopting an [[Abrogation (Naskh)|abrogation]] principle, to get rid of inconsistencies, we can also see the inconsistencies in these word count "miracles". This article includes what can be termed as "non-miracles". For example, the Muslim claim is that the word "day" appears 365 times in the Quran and there are 365 days in a year, so this is a miracle by Allah. But besides the fact that apologists used a questionable counting method, when we calculate the number of occurrences of the word "night" in the Qur'an, we find that it is only 92 though there are 365 nights in a year. | Although the Qur'an itself admits being inconsistent by adopting an [[Abrogation (Naskh)|abrogation]] principle, to get rid of inconsistencies, we can also see the inconsistencies in these word count "miracles".

These kinds of inconsistencies show how apologists list only the cases where the word counts "fit" | These kinds of inconsistencies show how apologists list only the cases where the word counts "fit" and don't show the cases where they don't. By this cherry-picking tactic, they create a false impression that the Qur'an is full of word count miracles. | ||
