Nice. Also, I guess grass needing the sun didn't happen until God decided to light the world by creating the sun the next day. But, whenever people come to a consensus about how silly certain parts of the bible are, scores of people will insist that that part is just symbolic rather than literal. This kind of nonsense will go on for a very long time.

The rainbow is a reflection of God's smile as he floats over the water:)
When light passes through water, you have a very small rainbow, if you seek carefully within that water droplets.

Noah was bouncing off the wall being stuck with all the animals in the big boat after raining for 40 days and 40 nights. Along came that band that sings 40 days/40nights making their #1 debut.

ooooh...GOOD question!!!! (much better than the usual Noah's Ark stuff.)
Can I make a conjecture? Can I can I Huh Huh Huh Huh?
Oh Oh Oh, I know! There were rainbows before that, but up until that moment, they were taken as symbols of pestilence.
(This is actually the correct answer. The Cree (NA indian tribe) see the rainbow as a symbol of something bad is about to happen. These people are from the other land bridge and etc etc, you can see this story forming in your mind, right?...So...I'm right, right?)

Light couldn't pass through water droplets before the flood. That was when "the canopy" covered the earth and why people lived so long before the flood. It not only blocked out the UV rays, the intense humidity kept your skin very smooth.
Oh, you think I'm joking...

In the story, the rainbow served as a symbol - like someone giving dead-flowers to their ex. There were rainbows before, just like there were dead flowers.

Maybe, because he already knew the future, he made is convenant when he created the universe.
And the contract had a rider, specifying that it didn't have full legal force until after the flood.

It forms 7 basic color of light and no one in the bible time seen to know what it was. Because bible has not told them what is that. They only believe what Bible said so.

Understand the rain"bow" as God laying down his weapon of long-range warfare. The bow, as in bow-and-arrow, was the missile of its day. A WMD if you will. God is not at war with humanity, we are at war with Him as we rebel against Him by attacking His images (our fellow human beings).

It never rained before the flood, thats why the people never believed Noah when he was building the ark, they all thought he was crazy, cuz they never, seen, felt or even heard of "rain"
