No, God doesn't need rainbows. He created them much as we wear wedding rings. I don't need a ring to remember that I'm married, but I sure enjoy looking at it!

No no! you have it the option way. God placed it there for people to recollect. that's we who want the reminder! sure, every time I see a rainbow, i think of concerning the promise. A rainbow to me is a tremendous massive smile from God. the various maximum sacred moments of my existence between God and that i've got took place whilst there has been a rainbow.

the rainbow is a seen promise he made. he does not need to be reminded, but when a rainbow appears he knows why it is there and so will we. I think it reminds us as people. not many people know why the rainbow was made.. thanks for opening the door to that one!

Look around. Wouldn't you need a constant reminder not to destroy it?

God doesn't forget, he doesn't use it to remind himself as much as a symbol to remind man of his promise....

the writers are probably forgetful at their age already and are projecting themselves into the literature they were writing.

It is to remind us of His covenant
