(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.

Sooo... why doesn't it just say, "God created light; he created it for us and the rest of the universe"? Why the extra mumbo jumbo? The fact alone that you, someone who professes to know God personally, have to use the word "probably" means the general understanding of it is pretty murky.
