Wow!
I am really impressed with the amount of research that you must have undertaken to come up with all of these "facts". I haven't managed to find any of them during my studies.
On a more serious note, are you suggesting these these "facts" be taught in school?

Remember, if the temperature is above a certain degrees or below a certain degrees...a prizm can not be seen. Explaining why there was no rainbow before the flood.
The diffraction properties of light don't care what the temperature of the media through which it is passing is at. I routinely use light refraction properties every day to measure elements in samples. It happens under a pretty much complete vacuum where temperature is meaningless. The source of the light is at several thousand degrees.
A rainbow is made by sunlight striking raindrops. See
here for a nice explanation of it.
All it takes to make a rainbow is the boundary layer between air and
liquid water. Sure there are temperatures and pressures at which water is
not liquid but those conditions are not very conducive to human life in general. Check
THIS site out for a nice phase diagram showing quite clearly that at normal atmospheric pressure, rainbows will exist up to a boiling point at around 375 Kelvins. Way hotter than you could survive at to see it.
At the other end of the scale, it would have to be ice.
If my children were to be taught this garbage in US schools then I would be heading back to England on the next plane.

The Bible states that before the flood the earth had a water canopy surrounding the earth, most likely ice...you can even see ice surrounding other planets in our solar system as well.
Where the heck do you get this crap from?
The bible certainly doesn't suggest a huge barrier of ice floating in the sky in defience of gravity.
I suppose it would explain the lack of rainbows though as these actually require sunlight.
As for the other planets with ice on them, I see no such thing and neither have the probes that we have sent to look for water on these other planets.
If this is the kind of total rubbish that the ID lobby want to get into our school system then I very strongly vote
NO!.
However I strongly doubt that anyone who has even the slightest inkling of the way science works (IDs included) would even suggest such an utterly preposterous idea.

PS Thanks for giving me such a good laugh. I could barely manage to pick myself up from the floor to read the next line after each of your "facts".
