Sure it makes sense. How are rainbows made? By natural processes. Is their any intelligence behind it? No.
Rainbows are not a creation they are an illusion it would have been better to have said snowflakes, or Crystals but neither of those compare to the complexity of an amoeba for example.

My personal belief is that this is not the true age of the universe, only that it is the distance to the point at which nothing will be able to return to its point of origin due to the universe expanding.

I see a rainbow reflection off of the water everytime I water the plants in daylight. I use a waterhose. There is obviously no glass coming out of the waterhose.
There is an easy experimental way to settle this. This glass filtered idea suggests that a rainbow cannot form indoors with artificial lighting.

Water mist is merely surface of projection, it might as well be just a wall or a piece of paper. All sunlight we absorb is glass filtered.

I might've missed it, but can you explain why this:
Requires a 'glass filter' to work??

Did you ever consider that the universe is expanding because all the stellar distances increasing over time are all part of a shpherical ball which is getting warmer and therefore expanding as a whole?

The bulb is glass, therefore the light is glass-filtered.
For if it were just water droplets dividing light into different spectrums, then the mass quantity would blend them back into one solid color.
Why don't we consider glass in the sky?
Take the time to check it out and then get back to me, mmkay.

Plumbo, I think you are getting confused. Space is not getting warmer, it is cooling.

But surely you agree that a light source can be made wherein the light isn't glass filtered.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand. Why would the 'mass quantity' blend them back??
I fail to understand why the obvious explanation does not apply.
The visual information seems to be the only information that 'supports' the idea, but it seems to be equally explained by the standard theories,
I've gotta say, this is super-whacky. I love it! If I was a high school science teacher, I'd make refuting it the final exam!

Thanks bud...

Age of Universe or Distance to Point of No Return ?
Scientist use this formula to calculate the age of the universe. This is also the formula to calculate the distance of two galaxies where the "relative" motion between each other(due to the universe expanding) exceeds the speed of light. The relative motion mentioned here does not mean that local observers can/will notice the effect, again it is just 'relative motion'.
Distance(Light Years) [or] Age of Universe(Years) = ((Speed of Light[Meters] / HubbleConstant[Meters/Sec/MegaParsec]) * (Meters Per MegaParsec)) / Meters Per Light Year
Simplified Equation
LY or Y = (((C / HC) * MpMP) / MpLY)
Speed of Light "C" = 299792458 Meters
Hubble Constant "HC" = 71000 Meters/Sec/MegaParsec
Meters Per MegaParsec "MpMP" = 3.08575E+22
(1 Parsec = 3.26164 Light Years or 3.26155 or 3.262 or 3.26 according to your source. 3.26164 is used here)
(Meters Per MegaParsec = 1000000 * 3.26164 * 9.46073E+15)
Meters per Light Year = 9.46073E+15
Distance in Light Years or Age in Years = 13,772,045,332
My personal belief is that this is not the true age of the universe, only that it is the distance to the point at which nothing will be able to return to its point of origin due to the universe expanding. Since the data available to me does not indicate the change of acceleration over time it is exceedingly difficult to calculate a true age for the universe to verify if the Big Bang theory is fact or fiction. Good Luck! and Sorry if this confuses anyone or if I made a booboo...

I am disappointed to see your absence from this thread recently.
I was hoping for a comment on my previous post.
