We all know that according to the Bible, rainbows did not exist until after the flood. Evolutionistarians base their theories on things like observation and evidence.
The bible is a piece of evidence that there were no rainbows before the flood. There is no evidence that says that rainbows existed before the flood. So the evidence says that rainbows did not exist until after the flood. This proves that the flood happened and thus that Creationism is true.
And to those people who will say that my reasoning is circular because I'm using the Bible to argue for the Bible's truth: A circle is the perfect shape. Therefore, circular logic is perfect logic.
Let's see you evolutionistarians argue against that!

Your reasoning is perfectly absurd AND laughable. You're funny, in a willfully ignorant way. I'll give you that much. Christians should eat this up! I can't wait to see this argument on the Christian Science Monitor website!

The bible is just a book, written by man. It's not evidence. I can write a book and say anything I want, that doesn't make it true. Circular logic is poor logic, not perfect logic.
There is no other evidence that rainbows didn't exist before the flood--if indeed there ever was a great flood.
Rainbows are optical and meteorological phenomena that cause a spectrum of light to appear in the sky when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. They take the form of a multicoloured arc, with red on the outer part of the arch and violet on the inner section of the arch. More rarely, a double rainbow is seen, which includes a second, fainter arc with colours in the opposite order, that is, with violet on the outside and red on the inside. There's nothing magical or supernatural about them.
If this is the best you've got, why do you bother?

Since rainbows are created by the refraction of light through water, there is no reason to assume that rainbows didn't exist before the flood.
The bible was written LONG after the flood was over. Like all myths, it attempted to explain phenomena in the world through the eyes of religion. It is no more factual to say that rainbows were put in the sky by god after a flood than to say that they were the road of the messenger goddess Iris. Both are myth, both could be considered "truth" by those who followed the appropriate religion, and neither one is the reality.

You raise an interesting point. On the face of it, the Flood could never have happened because there isn't enough water on the planet to cover the landmasses.
But what if God didn't use water!?
If, before the Deluge, Earth was covered with something OTHER than water, there might have been enough of it to produce a global flood. And one aspect of this substance, whatever it was, might have been that it had a different refractive index, and sio would not have produced rainbows!
After the Flood, God replaced all of this stuff with the ordinary H2O we see today, which has the property of producing rainbows via internal refraction.
And if you believe this, children, you are surely out of your minds...

Sorry but the bible is not 100% true. It is a bunch of stories written over many years and has been written over many time by man. We all know man is imperfect so the bible which was written by man is imperfect (beat that logic).
The bow is divided into bands displaying the different colors of the spectrum and is formed by the refraction and reflection of the sun's rays in drops of rain. Reflection is simply the return of light waves from the raindrop's surface. Light which appears to be white, is really made up of a mixture of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet light.
READ YOUR SCIENCE BOOK DEAR.

There's something you aren't recognizing. Nonbelievers do not put any stock in the Bible. We do not trust it as a valid or reliable source of information. So, it is very easy to argue against that by saying that the Bible is NOT independently verifiable.

This begs the question (as opposed to petitioning the premise) . . .
Are all of your questions as entertaining as this one?
Praise FSM. . . May you be blessed by His Noodly appendage
BTW My 9yr old disagrees with your circular logic. She says a PRISM is the perfect shape because it MAKES rainbows.

Noah's flood never happened. All of our real evidence, you know, the kind based on science, points towards that.
No, circular logic is a logical fallacy. It means it's wrong.

Are you out of your mind? Rainbows can be easily explained by the slowing of light into different wavelengths by the droplets of water - you can do this yourself with a fricken garden hose on a sunny day...The Bible is a work of fiction.

Rainbows come from moisture & sunlight. Of course rainbows existed before any floods. Cmon let's be sensible.
