(a) Why would a god have to *say* anything?
(b) Who or what was around to hear and action the request?
He wasn't talking to anyone nor anything, He was commanding light to become a reality not just an image in his mind. He probably didn't say any words, it was probably a thought. It was written that way to give mere humans a way to understand. Not to understand his power because we can not, it was written that way so we could know God created light and that He created it for us and the rest of the universe. An omniscient mind needs no light to see all things.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
