An Orange Sky

What color is the sky?  It's blue... right?

(Actually, some of you scientific folks may have something to say about how the sky isn't actually blue.  It absorbs all other colors and blue light is the most easily scattered, etc, etc... but the sky appears blue, so that's what I'm talking about here.)

New evidence has come out that the sky wasn't always blue.  Wha...?  This means that if you went up to Adam and Eve and started talking about the blue sky, they may have looked at you like you were crazy. 

In light of new evidence, it appears that the sky originally may have been orange, according to a large component of methane in the earth's atmosphere.  After a time, a "Great Oxidation Event" occurred (possibly the Great Flood?), causing a change in climate that caused the color change (and I'm not going to go on and on about the details of this... you can go here to read into the scientific parts, minus the evolutionary standpoint that this all occurred billions and billions of years ago.) 

Of course, there is no absolute proof that the sky was orange, considering that there is no photographic evidence, but it's neat to consider the idea, isn't it?  And can you imagine if the sky was orange before the Flood and blue after?  What a shocker for Noah and his family! 

I'm no scientist, but I must admit that the thought of an orange sky is pretty cool.
