The miracle of the Quran is not confined to the rhetoric, but it has several aspects that coordination of the verses and lack of difference in them is one of them. From the very beginning of revelation, enemies by casting doubts, tried to prove contradiction in the verses of the holy Quran. One of these claimed cases of contradiction in the Quran is about the duration of creation of the heaven and earth which is said in seven verse that they were created in six days while it is induced from “Fosselat” chapter that it was created in eight days. The commentators of the holy Quran put forward five answers to this question that two of them are acceptable as the ultimate answer: 1- The four days of measurement of food in Fosselat chapter does not mean the creation of plants, animal and foods only to be eight days with four days for creation of the heaven and earth but two days is for creation of earth, two days for creation of the earth, and two days for creation of the heavens to be the total six days. 2. In Fossalat verses, only the creation of the earth is explained explicitly, so the verb “create” is used but the creation of the earth and heaven is not mentioned, so the verb “sentence” is used instead
