To make it less error prone, just do this:

(defun thermoluminesce ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((list '()) ;; here you prepare empty list
         (list (dotimes (n 6 (reverse list))
                 (push (read-number (format "Enter number %s: " (1+ n))) list)))
         (ta (elt list 0))
         (tb (elt list 1))
         (tlab (elt list 2))
         (tc (elt list 3))
         (td (elt list 4))
         (tlcd (elt list 5))
         (te (elt list 6)))
    ;; continue here using variables
    ))
