From Talmud Yerushalmi, Berachot 9:1
 
Heretics asked Rav Simlai:  'How many G-ds created the world?'
 
He answered, "Go, seek your answer from Adam" [ie; examine the verses in Genesis and derive a response (Torah Temima)]
 
It is written "In the beginning Elohim [ie; plural] created", they said.
 
"yes", he answered, "but Bara, created, is singular and not plural!"
