Yeh I encountered this on Islamic forums years and years ago.
The moon as far as I can tell from videos and what I've read was formed by vaporized rock from an impact between Earth and another planet. That whole event doesn't involve an existing moon and it being split. In fact not only does it not involve an existing moon being split, it's pretty much the exact opposite thing happening, the moon is being formed, drawn together, becoming one thing, which is the moon.
Another thing to say is that most translations of the quran say specifically "Split in two" which takes it even further away from being about the creation of the moon, which doesn't involve a moon splitting anyway.
And in the very next verse it talks about people seeing a sign and relates it to the first verse. "Yet when they see a sign...."
Also let's say we go into the land of fantasy and say the quran is talking about the creation of the moon why is it talking about people seeing signs involving this in the next verse? That would involve humans being on Earth during this impact and during the creation of the moon and observing it.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
