Interesting take! My expectation, upon reading your title was more along the lines of Genesis and creation: "And God said, 'Let there be light, and there was light.'" So God spoke the Big Bang?

Then God heard His people suffering, and 450 years later, Moses heard the burning bush. Was Moses the first one called or was he the first to respond?

On Sunday we recited the Magnificat. Was Mary the first one called, or the first who responded? She certainly spoke as the subaltern; 2,000 years later we still give voice to her words.

Which brings me back to, "Does God need us to respond in order to be heard?" Or is the Big Bang loud enough?
