I can accept the fact that people do not believe, but give those of
us who do a break. Why shouldn't we believe in magic if we want to?
And about this rainbow business! Yes, to Christians, the rainbow is
a symbol of God's covenant with Noah. Why does that mean there couldn't
have been rainbows before the covenant. Maybe God decided to take something
uncommon and special and use it as a symbol. I am reminded of special events or people by things which I associate
with that person or that event. That is a symbol, and it doesn't mean that
the object which is a symbol wasn't there before. It just means that it
wasn't special before. I would say that the same thing applies to Noah
and the rainbow.
