Pre-flood physics?

Oh boy, Mr. Jack, you're opening a good one here! You probably already know that some creationists believe that from Creation to the Deluge there was total and perennially dense cloud cover kinda like greenhouse gasses through which the sun couldn't penetrate sufficiently to refract a rainbow. Of course then we need an explanation of why most aboriginals of 4000 to 3000 BCE were obviously dark-skinned. Jack, are you sure you wanna open this can of worms?

That's right, Brian. No rainbows before the creation thereof by God. No way, no how. The rainbow was created from the prime elements of fire, air, and water, earth (dust around which water adhered),and then placed fully extended and stacked layer by layer across the expanse of the Dome in invisible form to refract the Light that was made to become visible through the previously unpenetrated, dense Waters Above the Earth specifically as a sign of the New Covenant for the post-Deluge New Earth. And poor Methuzhella, lived longer than any other human, a whole thousand years this man lived, and never ever saw a rainbow.[This message has been edited by Abshalom, 12-18-2003]
