And who was witness to and recorded this "historical" fact. It's a mythology.

So, since there had never been a rainbow before, that suggests that there had never been rain until the flood being that a rainbow is the natural occurrence after rain and sun coincide. But, how could vegetation and life exist without rain? It is believed that in Genesis 1:7 the water beneath the expanse (the sky) and the waters (sea) was a water canopy that blocked a large amount of UV rays from the sun
"One of the difficulties of Dillow's model, as with most of the other canopy models, is the heat load or heat energy content of the canopy. The canopy must be somehow cooled from approximately 100 degrees C to the condensation point, the latent heat of condensation must then be removed at the same temperature, and then the liquid must be cooled to the present atmospheric temperature of about 25 degrees C. The potential energy (mgh) of the canopy must also be removed. Dillow shows that if all this energy were released in a short period of time, the temperature of the atmosphere would rise to 2,100 degrees C, an obviously impossible value. Dillow's model also does not deal with winter darkness near the poles."

Now onto the evolution topic.

Man did not evolve. Nor did any other species, according to the Bible, God created Adam the man, not Adam the fish. So, evolution and Bible do not mix. Also, the Bible says that the animals and man were created in their kind, not what they would eventually be.
To use an ancient manuscript such as the book of Genesis as an authorative biological text on the origin and development of any species is an absolute and total absurdity. Genesis 1 is the Hebrew creation myth, NOT an objective account of the biological origin of our and other species.
