Yes, Partially, and No, depending on the person.

Some people believe the Old Testament is a literal recording of history and pre-history and take it that way. Others hold that parts of it are allegorical and other parts are literal. Still others only believe those parts which are corroborated by external historical evidence. Finally, others believe that the entire thing is a work of fiction.
