(Please observe: I recognize, of course, that Wikipedia is far from an authority regarding much of anything; still less Judaism. That is, like me, they need hardly be considered scholarly. Even still--for I do heart me some Wikipedia--what is written at our online encyclopedia sometimes catches one's eye; as did what I have here cited. And my citation would be irrelevant save for the relevance of theirs. Their citation is the fact that Jewish rabbinic writings believe the world was created, &tc.; my observation--that Christians believe essentially the same thing, saving only that we understand the "who" of this cornerstone--is, I think, equally relevant. Adieu.)
