There is no Biblical or scientific indication that there weren't rainbows before the flood; we should probably assume that there were. In other words, The Bible does notsay that there weren't rainbows before the flood, only that God pointed to the rainbow as a sign of his covenant from that point forward.

Why dp people see the rainbow as a symbol of hope?

There is a Biblical story about a flood for which Noah and his family had built the ark, a boat that held a male and a female of every kind of animal. The flood was visited on earth by God in order to wipe out the human race just about all of whom had become sinners. After the rains of the flood the first rainbow was seen and it symbolized a new beginning and a promise by God that he would never do a similar thing again


The great flood was described as?

Various descriptions and terms have been used to describe the great flood. It has been called variously, 'the Flood of Noah', 'Noah's Flood', 'The Deluge', a 'Cataclysm', or simply 'The Flood' as distinct from any particular local flood. Interestingly, the Hebrew word 'mabul' also makes this distinction in that it is a word which includes all of the above meanings, as distinct from any local flood, no matter how great and devastating.

How many years between the flood and the tower of babel?

The Bible does not provide a specific number of years between the Great Flood and the Tower of Babel. According to the Bible, the Great Flood occurred during the time of Noah, while the Tower of Babel incident happened several generations later, during the time of Nimrod. Based on the genealogies provided in the Bible, estimates suggest that it could have been several hundred years between the two events.


Where was the story of Noah found?

The Bible is silent on where Noah might have been born. Also, I am not aware of any midrash (non-binding Jewish tradition) that seeks to answer this question. If we look back to the very early pagan traditions on which the story of Noah is sometimes considered to have been based, then those traditions usually place his counterpart somewhere in Mesopotamia.
