I can't find anything on this, except that it didn't rain till after Adam and Eve. Can anyone help me on this. I told someone I didn't think it rained till the flood and now im being called out on this.
I hope there is proof out there or a verse that talks about it not raining before the flood.

Gen 2:5-6
before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.

Gen 2:5-6 says that when God created Man from the dust it had not rained but old earthers would contend that the earth was once nothing but a giant dirt ball and that there probably was a mist, it does not mean that it never rained up until Noah's time. In fact stretching this verse out of it's context is just one of the dozens of such distortions that go into most of the fundamentalist arguments for a young earth. The fact is we almost always get ourselves in trouble when we start inductive study and expecially when we start inferring too deeply. There is no scriptural basis beyond assuming that the state of the earth spoken of in Gen 2:5-6 conitnued until Noah. The truth is we simply do not know and it is not necessary for faith in Jesus.
May God bless you in the knowledge of Him.

What about NO Rainbow till after the Flood? That kinda feeds the thought of no rain till the flood.

You don't necessarily need rain to have a rainbow. So there could have been rainbows before the flood, even if it had not rained.
