Huh? Are you saying Katrina came into existence as a result fof divine intervention? And that hurricanes need divine "help" to break up?

These are all natural and explainable phenomenon. But your post shows how dangerous and insidious ID is. If more people thought like you there would be no Meteorology.

 

And you unbelievers are the FIRST we'll come after!!!  HAHAHAHA!  (Evil laugh)


 

Jesus said this:

NIV Matthew 5:44-45
 44.  But I tell you: Love your enemies  and pray for those who persecute you,
 45.  that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.





NIV Genesis 2:4-7
 4.  This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.   When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens--
 5.  and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth  and there was no man to work the ground,
 6.  but streams  came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground--
 7.  the LORD God formed the man  from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.


NIV Genesis 7:4
   Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made."


NIV Genesis 9:13-15
 13.  I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
 14.  Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
 15.  I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.


NIV Exodus 9:23-24
 23.  When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt;
 24.  hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation.


NIV Exodus 9:33
   Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands toward the LORD; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.


NIV Leviticus 26:4
   I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit.


NIV Deuteronomy 11:13-14
 13.  So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today--to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul--
 14.  then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil.


NIV Deuteronomy 11:17
   Then the LORD's anger will burn against you, and he will shut the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you.


NIV Deuteronomy 28:12
   The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.

 18.  Then Samuel called upon the LORD, and that same day the LORD sent thunder and rain. So all the people stood in awe of the LORD and of Samuel.


NIV 1 Kings 8:35-36
 35.  "When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because your people have sinned against you, and when they pray toward this place and confess your name and turn from their sin because you have afflicted them,
 36.  then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land you gave your people for an inheritance.


NIV 1 Kings 17:1
   Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe  in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word."

 42.  So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.
 43.  "Go and look toward the sea," he told his servant. And he went up and looked.   "There is nothing there," he said.   Seven times Elijah said, "Go back."
 44.  The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea."   So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, `Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.'"
 45.  Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on and Ahab rode off to Jezreel.
 46.  The power of the LORD came upon Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.

 8.  "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,"  declares the LORD.
 9.  "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
 10.  As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
 11.  so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

"13. I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
15. I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. "



I like the Irish version better. You know - the one involving leprechauns and a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

I'm truly sorry for breaking this to you, but rainbows are due to the prismatic effect of water and sunlight. There's no magic wand being waved in the sky by the Great Bearded White Sky God.
