    In the old testament, God put it (the rainbow) in the sky after the flood to promise (Noah) the earth that he would never flood it again.

    it depends on how you look at it: the scientific way and the way of the bible.

    scientific: there mus have been some type of translucent object that caught a ray of light and there was the spectrum of light in the sky

    bible: after the flood god promised that he wouldn't destroy the earth with water and that was the sign of his promise, that and the dove with the olive branch

    God's promise not to flood the earth again. Seems to have changed his mind though.
