RE: [asa] Noah's ark- rainbow question

Hi Bernie:

The rainbow effect comes whenever light is refracted off water droplets.
When I used to fly KC-135 tankers occasionally when we flew above the clouds
and the sun was overhead we could see the shadow of our airplane on the
clouds beneath with a circular rainbow around the shadow.

BTW, someone else thinks he has found the Garden of Eden. Too early by my
calculatios and in the wrong place.

Subject: [asa] Noah's ark- rainbow question

After Noah left the ark, God told Noah that He would send a rainbow to
remind everyone that he would never again destroy the earth with water.

However, is it possible to not have a rainbow when it is raining and the
sunlight is right? According to the passage, it rained for 40 days/nights,
then there was no rain. That's interesting- 150 days (or maybe even 9
months) with no rain, with all that water and condensation al over the
world- even if locally? And if it did rain after those 40 days (because of a
different interpretation), but while Noah was still on the boat for about 9
months after the 40-day rains, couldn't it make a rainbow?

The rainbow is a natural occurrence, not supernatural.
