Yes, of course. God created the world, Jewish mothers perfected it.

What does it say in the first testament (bible)? Jesus was a Jew. What did he believe?
Why would you even think of asking this question? Jews and Christians have the exact same roots.
But to answer your question. Yes Jews believe that God created the universe. By the way: Muslims believe the same thing. So what have we proved? What were we supposed to prove?
It just seems to be an odd question.

yes, Judaism does belive in a single, undivided god (no trinity, no "3 persons" thing) that created all that is.
and evolution and creation are not exclusive.....
judaism does not dictate that god LITERALLY created everything in LITERALLY 6 days. but only that god was a causal force behind everything existing.
as said, some take a more "watchmaker theory" (that god laid out the system then set it to work, and only interveins once in a blue moon to keep it working properly, if that) and some see god as being vastly more involved.

I assume you mean supernaturally or ex nihilo.
The answer, somewhat typical of jews, is yes and no. Some do and some don't.
many jews believe in the big bang and evolution; many also do not.
I, for one, am inclined to believe in evolution and the like (though I am skeptical about some of its claims).
The main point we keep in mind is that G-d is overseeing the process, like a parent watching his kids build (or try to build) a tree-house -- when things get crazy, he steps in and offers his help.
cheerio

Of course! The Torah is our story. Christians "borrowed" it and now impose their version on Jews!
Jesus was born a Jew, taught Judaism, and died a Jew. If you want to know his "beliefs" you can read them here.

If you're interested in the history of Christianity read "The Mythmaker: Paul and the Invention of Christianity" by Hyam Maccoby.

Yes. And since they believe they are God's children, they expect the rest of us to pay rent.

I think so. They do believe in God.
