I didn't get my information from Wikipedia. It was mere commonsense that led me to think of the relation between yom and ayyaam. I accept that ayyaam probably has two meanings. What I do not accept, however, is the conclusion that because science disagrees with one meaning then the author of the Islamic text meant the other. That is eisegesis--which is subjective and promotes bias--and not exegesis.
