Hi. I read a lot in the forum, but I still do not have a clear answer.
The alchemist uses a standard action to create and throw a bomb. Why can not he throw two bombs with the Rapid Shot feat ?. An archer can shoot two arrows with that feat, and shooting an arrow is a standard action. Has no sense.
Thank you.

Shooting an arrow is not a standard action; it is an attack action. That's why high-BAB archers can fire multiple shots even without any feats.
The alchemist's bomb is a standard action because of the creation step, not because of the throwing step. Rapid Shot only accelerates the throwing. To accelerate the creation the alchemist needs the Fast Bombs alchemical discovery. Once they have that, they can make&throw as many as their BAB and extra things like Rapid Shot, haste, etc allow.
