where there are "nice repetitions" one gets the impression that there is something special about it, while statistically the same probability of finding similar "miracles" exists in all texts.

[edit] Islamic Miracle Using Christian Calendar
The first flaw with this claim is the fact that the Islamic calendar consists of 354 or 355 days a year,[1] so these Islamists are effectively favoring Christianity by their use of the Gregorian calendar, which consists of 365 or 366 days.
all the occurrences of the word by showing where it occurs for each of those 666 times, then our d claim is unproven. There is not a single website that lists all the occurrences of the word "day" in the Qur'an showing it to be 365 times.
[edit] Conclusion
There is no miracle to be found here. Islamists have manipulated data and used an un un-Islamic method of counting days within a year to make t (unverified) numbers "fit". the 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 miracle, Julian calendar (which consisted of 365 or 366 days) began in 45 BC.[3] This is one of the most oft-quoted but there are more such dubious mathematical claims but they quoted are equally deceitful. But putting that aside, even if day or yawm was mentioned 365 times in the Qur'an, would that mean it's from God?
