If you're trying to be a serious believer in a serious magic book..why twist yourself into knots when a serious answer that doesn't amount to calling magic book a liar already exists? Splitting the moon is allegory for divine supremacy .
Taking a page from christian magic book.....the local moon worshippers needed a miracle to abandon their old ways of life and follow a new one. Thus, the magic man..in magic book..split a magic moon. The story in question is and always has been a regionally thematic element of an establishment legend.
The idiocy of literal interpretation was sold by people whose claim to political authority was proximity to the magic man. The unseriousness on display in this thread is worse, proceeding from the original medieval bit and then doubling down with something even sillier. It's impressive.
