Why is that the case and what is your evidence in support of your assertion?

If you want to get technical, the "Elohim" (Gods in the plural) created Adam; a story that has much of its origin from ancient Sumer. So it seems, the Annunaki of Sumer thousands of years later became the "Gods" of the Old Testament (which later became the Trinity by modern Christian scholars). As for Jesus, he could've been created by the angel Gabriel for all we know.

However, according to Christian theology, Adam and Jesus the Christ (Christ is a title NOT a name that any one can earn) were created by the same Trinity 3-Gods-in-one concept.

Elohim is in the singular...

I’m a Jew, I know what it means...However, in the creation account, and when referring to G-d, it is singular...And G-d was speaking with His council...
