Actually, red light has a longer wavelength than blue light and this length is what cases it to be refracted and/or absorbed before it makes it all the way throught the atmosphere. The shorter wavelength light, blue, can make it through the gaps, so to speak, that the longer wavelengths cannot.

i hate it when that happens. i guess i shouldn't make drunk posts.
I like your idea but I just think that god could hold all the porperties of physics the same and also not have a rainbow appear and then make the rainbow appear without changing any of the properties of physics. I only think this because, technically, he could do anything and trying to put limits on how things must be if he did things this way takes all of his magic powers away
the thing is, i think it's silly to create something that works a certain way and then make it work a different way. only someone with 'magic powers' would think to show off in that way. but my god does not have magic powers, rather control of everything. those with total control tend to not exercise it.
What about non-physical things, like the covenants, you wouldn't have to make a covenant if it already existed, ya know?
um. i suppose if you look at it in a weird metaphysical way like 'deep magic from the dawn of time'. i tend to look at it like a constitution... a piece of paper that tells you how things work.
but I guess they could used to suppot creationism.
it's an odd daydream to have, about things that could make the universe actually work the way they think it does. but i think the point i'm making is that for creationism to be right and work within a static universe (which i can't imagine god not designing) the universe would have to be completely upside down.
