No. Claiming that the entire earth in Genesis means the entire planet (rather than the earth from horizon to horizon) is wrong. In those days people had no idea of how large (or small) the entire planet was. They gave an account of what they saw--i.e., the earth from horizon to horizon.. Science confirms that the entire earth was never covered with water.
I pasted in the bible verse that state the earth was covered, Genesis 7.19 in post 72.
So genesis is wrong as science confirms.
If you wish to argue that those who saw and recounted the entire earth as far as the eye could see assumed that the entire planet--however big the planet might be--was covered, go with that. Personally, I don't know what they thought. I do know they gave an account of what they could see.
As I read the following verse 7.19 it says the high hills that were under the whole heaven were covered.
Genesis 7.19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
This book is supposed to be the infallible word of God, and the point of this thread is to show it is not.
