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 | 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".

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. | ||
These kind 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. | These kind of inconsistencies show how apologists list only the cases where the word counts "fit" and don't show the cases where they don't.
