It tells how he evaded the invading enemy army that swept through the area destroying and pillaging everything it encountered. The story uses number of war and peace words to show that it was just a war story.So the part about the rainbow was a way to explain that they celebrated their victory with gay sex?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
