    Nothing. According to them, God, our creator, created the World. The Jews only stopped with the Old Testament while we have the Gregorian Calendar and we believe, that Jesus was born and therefore, also, believe in the New Testament. For the Jews, the Messiah hasn't come yet. The year number on the Jewish calendar represents the number of years since creation, calculated by adding up the ages of people in the Bible back to the time of creation. However, this does not necessarily mean that the universe has existed for only 5700 years as we understand years.

    And by the way, the spiritual Patriarchs of Judaism are: Abraham, Jacob and Isaac.
