If your question is, were there rainbows prior to God's creation of them after the Great Flood -- then no. The refraction of light in the sky, making a rainbow, is due to moisture in the upper atmosphere. Prior to the Great Flood, the earth was watered by mist coming up through the ground (Genesis 2:6). The Great Flood was the first time in the earth's history that it ever rained and although God promised He would never destroy the earth with another flood, He did not stop the rain cycle.

If your question is, could a person have refracted light using a crystal, water, etc. prior to God's creation of the first rainbow, then my answer is yes.

Peace.

Yes!

It doesn't say in the bible that God created the rainbow at the time after the flood. He says that he chose to use the rainbow as a symbol to remind us that he would never flood the earth again.

There were rainbows long before the Flood.

No. It is purely science. It is called the prism effect. When sun ray passes through the rain droplets, the drops act like a prism and display the seven colours of rainbow. Since this happens in one of part of the round world, that part is reflected like a bow and hence the rainbow. Rainbow occurs only during early morning hours or just before sunset.

Yes, but like everything in the Bible it becomes a metaphor for something else. In this case light refraction become God's promise (reminder to himself actually) not to flood the whole earth again.

God didn't 'make' a rainbow, but it's another example of Him in His scientific best. Get my drift?

No, there was no colour in the world until colour photography was developed in late Victorian times, before that everything in the world (even a rainbow) was black & white and the whole range of greys only.

In my opinion, without the form we see as life, which is material in it's state now, this life existed only in imagination. But in imagination it was. Solid form came from the start of time and space. But image came from no thing.

i'd say so, nothing would be able to see if light could not reflect and refract.
