I'm in need of some clarifications here.
Are you asserting that you can definitively prove that there were rainbows 4000 years ago?
What reasons do you have to suggest that it is "reasonable to suggest that people had never observed a rainbow at any point since homo sapiens were on this earth until whatever timeframe you care put this flood myth in"?
With respect to "Yes, a god would have to make changes, either to light or the human eye. That's the -how-, that's thinking "more deeply about how certain miracles could have been achieved through natural laws". Why would God have had to make changes either to light or the human eye in order to use a naturally occurring event as a sign of a covenant?
What is the 'liberal-turn' I am taking, and what do you mean by a 'just-so story'?

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
