No. There was a water canopy above the earth that created an environment with no extremes in temperature. When the floods were released the canopy was opened and rains fell. Before that the earth was watered with springs and there was only one land mass as the earth sat on its axis...sorta like an oval bio dome fed by 4 rivers which are now the oceans as the tectonic plates split and all the masses began to separate. I can show you Biblical scripture that shows this and as well it is all geological theory too. Just email me and I'll send this to you. Love in Christ, ~J~

Gen 2:5-6 ...the Lord had not sent rain upon the earth... But a mist used to rise from the earth and water the surface
I'm going to guess and say that rain became a normal part of nature after the Fall of Man. Before that, weeds were unheard of, along with toiling. There seems to not be a reason that rain would have been necessary until then. The Flood of Noah happened 1656 years after Adam was created. Or 2100 years before the year of our Lord's birth. I'm definitely convinced that in that time one rain or two would have come down, even if (for Atheist's sakes) that rain does not correspond to any Biblical significance.

NO, According to what I have learned and the class I took on the flood and read the old testament there was no rain on the earth before the flood. God used the dew to water the earth.

No. According to the Bible, what we do know is a mist used to come up from the ground and watered everything. This is how it was in Eden, and presumably in the rest of the world. Reason it is believed- the rainbow was a new thing...it was never known, and after the rain is when God set His bow in the sky. Therefore, we can safely say it never rained before because rainbows only come after a rain.

No. This is why everyone thought Noah was crazy for building the Ark in the first place. The waters that fed the Earth before then came from underneath, rising up from the ground.

Of course it had, the great flood was just a whole lot more than there had ever been before or has ever been since. He promised He would never do it again and gave us the rainbow as a reminder of that promise.

Some theists will claim "no"
but then i'm really not even going to bother answering them, if you can skew reality that much, you're not worth arguing.
to the ones who say "yes" but there was no rainbow...
Then the properties of light were different before the flood too?

I think that we can infer that there was.
Man existed long before the flood-he would have needed rain to survive.

No. The earth was kept moist with a mist because the upper atmosphere was a layer of water.
