Now, think a bit and tell me why would a god rely on such a crappy multi-meaning language to transmit its awesome message to mankind? Mankind who, even at the time, already possessed many many many different languages and dialects... Mankind who, even at the time, had already seen many many many deities.... Mankind who, even at the time, already possessed the knowledge of the library of Alexandria... Mankind who, even at the time, already had literary masterpieces...
This is an examination , people who use their minds will pass this exam , people who persistently trying to hide truth and trying to distort the meanings of words will be flunked .
People want Allah to say "Moon was earlier was a source of heat and light , this feature was lost over time and started to reflects light from the sun"
Allah tell that in a very different way , he says he have delete the moon from night and have made it a noor to softly lighting for night .

Well. Imagine you are God. You know all and you know the Earth was created in 13.8 Billion years...but these STUPID people on Earth, they think it was created in 6 days, so, to clear out their misconception, you go to them and say it was created in 6 periods!
Even the oldest muslim scholars had translated this sentence as "period" . This is not a new translation . We dont have any information about that this periods corresponds to a period of equal length with one another. There are different interpretations about this verse.
