It makes a big difference Ron. Abraham was told to get out of his land and
go to a land God would show him. The word land is the same, erets.
This means that erets, means a local region and the flood thus occurred NOT
on the whole planet but only on some region of the earth. whole land does
not mean planet earth. Otherwise, tell me what planet God showed Abraham
to go to.
