Very early in the piece the Bible says it had not begun to rain, but a mist would arise from the ground and water everything. So maybe it had not rained from the sky until the flood occurred?

That's a part of the Creation mythology of which most people are ignorant.
Similarly, in the beginning of the Noah myth there is a mention of
2   Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
3   Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
(Genesis 7)

This thread is pure clickbait. The thread starter must be happy at the mud slinging he has started.

It shows that posting anything that causes a controversy is guaranteed to generate responses.

I know, I  know. I also have responded to it.  >:(

From the very mythological book you mentioned in the OP.

"Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife." Proverbs 30:33.

Actions have consequences, but you've been warned, of course.

5) This is an electronics forum, so try to stay on-topic. We understand that threads drift off-topic, but try not to start deliberately and grossly off-topic stuff. There are a couple of pet topics that always get out of control on forums, namely, religion, politics, guns, war, conspiracy theories, and the latest Current Thing that's happening or being championed by the public. They are not welcome here. This includes inside signatures and profile bios. This isn't Twitter where you virtue signal to everyone with your flags, emoticons, and hashtags.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've always liked rainbows, right from when I was a small child and never associated them with religion, politics or activism.

OK so now I'm just confused. How many rainbows do the LGBTQAIW+ 'community' need? Answer, all of them. Seriously, you want to click this: https://www.volvogroup.com/en/news-and-media/news/2021/jun/lgbtq-pride-flags-and-what-they-stand-for.html

All these flags are stupid. The entire point of the original rainbow flag is that it is the entire spectrum, it is inclusive of everybody. Now that all these various subgroups wants their own separate flag completely defeats the purpose and it is all a bunch of nonsense.

As for the religious aspect, people are free to believe what they want, science is not a part of religion, it is a process for gathering, organizing, interpreting and testing data, whereas religion is based on faith which by definition is belief that does not involve data or the scientific method.

Just make the rainbow a continuum instead of 7 discrete shades.
Specify the color space. Is it going to be sRGB? Adobe RGB? Make sure the color space covers enough to be really inclusive!

It doesn’t include me!
That’s discrimination!
I’m triggered!

Tongue in cheek, obviously.
I couldn’t care less. Let them do what they want. Just stay away from me.

Should we think that those kinds of things do not have a scientific basis simply because we are unable to do such things at the present time?

Wouldn't be a problem if they started with the right one from the beginning.

Yes, then there's at least some justice.
Now if we are indigo there's only 6 for extra terrestrials.
And what are the other 5 tertiaries.

what was made in just 144 hours by God is beyond anything we mortals can comprehend.
the number of stars, the number of galaxys, all the elementary particles, made perfect from day one!
in the beginning the earth had a layer of water in orbit .
then a layer of breathable atmosphere and then the Earth's surface was water too.
at that time the Earth had one landmass divide by 4 rivers with the centre of the landmass known as Eden.
the sky magnified the stars at night and a day was more like 12 Hours not 24.
the gravity was low and human life expectancy was upto 900 years. 
the world's first great ship builder called Noah and a man called Enoch had the technical knowledge of that time.

we are not alone and never have been alone in the universe.
the God of heaven will not be mocked, as pride is lucifers downfall, the fallen angels corrupted themselves.
by the seduction of we mortals with their lies. ET's and the so celled UFO's are not what they say.
woe to them that call evil good.
woe to them that make ugly what was originally made by God to be beautiful the Original rainbow in the sky.
the cities of sodom and gomorrah was destroyed by God for their wickedness.
the cities had pride and mass public nudity including with animals.

hopefully this clears things up a bit.

Well, for one thing, six “12 hour” creative days = 72 hours, not 144.
And to say the entire universe was created / came about in six 24 hour days contradicts both science and the Bible. Certainly the Bible refers to 6 creative “days” or epochs, presumably each a substantial period of time, but these are described as occurring *after* the earth came into existence, not during the time when the universe appeared.

And BTW, I’m not trying to defend whether the Bible is fact or fantasy, this is not the place for that. I’m just trying to make sure it is referenced correctly, just as you might an encyclopaedia entry or a Shakespeare quotation.

How do you know the flood was mythical? That is a sweeping assumption. What evidence do you have it is mythical? There is evidence of a huge flood in the known ancient world, but the evidence does not allow us to make any definite conclusions. However, the more we poke into the past the more we learn things that overturn our assumptions.

Flood myths do have a scientific basis. At the end of the last ice age, some 10,000 years ago, a series of "inundation pulses" consumed much of the low laying landscapes of the pre-ancient world. From the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf, the North Sea to the Baltic, and the Bay of Bengal to the Torres Straight, land that was almost certainly inhabited by our direct ancestors vanished at a spectacular rate. One hypothesised inundation event that may have led to the Noah's Flood story, was some eight millennia ago when the rising Mediterranean overtopped the dry Bosporus Straight and flooded into the neighbouring Black Sea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_deluge_hypothesis
The memory of lands lost to floods would have persisted in the oral record until they became codified in the myths and legends of the first written texts. Interesting to note that all ancient civilisations have some form of mythology that tells of a great flood, "a long time ago." The Tiddalik from Aboriginal Australians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiddalik

Which could also be the case if they all descended from one surviving family.

There wouldn't be enough genetic diversity in one family, unless it was particularly large (in the thousands). Also, there hasn't been enough time for the genetic differentiation we can observe in native populations, nor enough time for them to migrate to all the long inhabited regions, which in any case have archaeological records of habitation going back tens of thousands of years in many cases.
