"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.
It never entered your head that there could be several ways of looking at a rainbow or a sunset, and that they are not necessarily contradictory?
As Blake said in his letter to Butts, God save us "From single vision and Newton's sleep."
He didn't mean that Newton was wrong, as far as he went. He meant that those who see things only in terms of interacting gravitational forces, or the prismatic bending of light, are closed minded, and deprive themselves of vital aspects of experience.
You haven't drowned yet. ;^)
