Gen 1:26 Then God(Elohim which is plural) said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

If you think you understand this "proof" text so well, why don't you see that in the beginning the word was "God"; that is, Elohim? It's right there in the beginning, the word elohim.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Bereshith bara elohim et hashamayim v'et haaretz.

There's the *literal* word "elohim".
