In my expirience, asking why something is true when it pertains to religion rarely produces an answer to my question.

Actually, I like to think of G-d talking to Noah.

Imagine what the neighbors thought when Noah started building an Ark in the neighborhood.

"What's that?"
" 's an Ark."
"Mind getting it out of my driveway, trying to go to work here!"

Next thing you know, the neighborhood covenenants council and the city zoning commission are coming around, asking questions, leaving nasty letters and fines, and what's Noah got to say in his defense?

"G-d told me to ask you: How long can you tread water?"

and..and you want me and my family to build it...uh huh...ok how big is this ark? 8 -9 meaters?

oh...oh, i see...that's um...that's big hah...

Perhaps God wanted to make the point that what he said was very important. I don't know.
