A Rainbow Molotov

A Rainbow Molotov (1) 1. do rainbows suggest that God’s mind, too, has seasons? is Grace permanent? 2. “oh, look a rainbow” - these words heard, is light’s curve seen if shelter’s our God? 3. did rainbows predate flood, or Physics, too, evolve? that’s quite a Band-Aid (2) 4. ‘rainbow perspective’ - its fabled gold illusive, end’s moving target 5. first ‘rainbow promise?’ - “earth’s safe place for dinosaurs (3) (up to asteroid)!” 6. rainbow’s God’s promise - a single, double, triple? grok how space expands (4) Long Tooth May 12th in 2021 Poet’s Notes: (1) Welcome to my cocktail of potentially incendiary haiku. (2) Band-Aid - For the rainbow not to have existed before Noah’s flood would mean that God would have to have changed all of Physics, too, and that seems like more than just a minor tweak! Possible, I guess, but it does not seem very likely. (3) God’s apparent love of the dinosaurs (that ruled earth before us) seems remarkable! Consider this: If the Dinosaur’s reign on earth was 24 hours, say, man’s total time here so far spans less than a minute (if the Science is correct). My haiku jokes that the asteroid which destroyed the dinosaurs is roughly analogous to God’s flood (that supposedly destroyed all but one family of human beings). It suggests we all must evolve (to move past our current circumstances) or perish when they change. It means to hint that simply mining the status quo is an invitation to disaster. Men must move beyond the earth, beyond the cradle of our childhood, or perish as our mother dies or her milk fades. We must all build our ark to the future as circumstance (and all wisdom) dictate. (4) It is long-established Science that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, but recent research suggests strongly that the space between stars is itself is expanding with time. We now have strong evidence that suggests some very distant galaxies are moving away from us at speeds exceeding the speed of light. If true, this means that even if we got in a spaceship that could travel at the speed of light, we could never reach them. Life is so interesting.
