Is it? So tell me, in the opening line of the Bible, "Berosheth bara' elohim eth ha shamayim we 'eth ha'aretz" (sorry, haven't worked out how to do superscripts) is the verb singular or plural? And do you notice that lack of the definite article in front of 'elohim'? So, not THE gods at all.

In the beginning Gods created the heaven and the earth.

And again? Is the verb singular or plural? And why are you insisting on 'heaven' (singular)? 'shamayim' has the same 'plural' ending as 'elohim'?
