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!"
