Man should have started talking long after he appeared on this earth.But the first book of Mosses ,Genesis found in the Bible says that god said, let there be light , let there be earth , let there be man etc .That means that god talked even before world appeard .That is long before the Big Bang . Mosses did not report god as sayng let there be a Big Bang . All scientists agree that there shoud have been a Big Bang and common sense also tells us that no creature could have been created in a jiffy like magic .Does it ment that the Genesis is a figment of the imagination of Mosses at level of intelligence that existed at his time ?.Could God have talked even before man began to talk and understand ? Was Mosses present when god said all these and created the world and all
things?
How could man have understood whatever god talked , even at the moment of creating man and what language did he talk and if god talked one language how is that we have thousands of languages now ?

It's called a metaphor.

The number of misconceptions presented here make it hard to supply any kind of answer. God is very capable of speaking to each person in the language they would comprehend. Moses wasn't around during creation but repeated the story as it was handed down through those who were responsible for maintaining the history of their people. Anthropologists have shown that in societies without the written word the exact replication of historical information is considered a sacred office and the words are guarded much more closely than in today's society. God's intent was not to provide us with a science book but the basic knowledge to be able to understand His part in the creation of the universe. Besides, it would be ridiculous to explain anything like quantum physics to early man, it would only be misunderstood.

For all I know first was the boogie man who created god .
this interlude of time could perhaps explain why primitive man had no god other than the fire god after he discovered fire and the wind god leading up the first theistic God Rah the Egyptian sun god . since man came to consciousness first before language and evolved to eventually speak I think it fair enough to assume man invented gods out of the basic instinctual desires inherent in his being to satisfy those unexplainable fears and hopes that bind mankind to superstition. My question is not which came first the chicken or the egg as man or god but when will see beyond it and progress to our future well being without being bound by the crutch of religious fantasy but aware of the importance of morality and logical living.
Won't that be a time to live in?

If you believe in god then you believe that anything is possible. Taken from your perspective, god is omnipotent(all-powerful) and therefore can make things appear like magic, you believe in god and his power then you cannot doubt this. As for language, the bible and other books written, in my opinion by regular people who did not spend much time thinking about how it all happened, they just made things up. This is my opinion and I am an atheist but for your question, god must have been talking in a telepathic way so that everyone understood, how? I have no idea as I don't believe in god. Good Luck in finding your answers!

First of all "mosses" grows on trees. Your question is dubious at best. Read the bible again. God speaks in your heart and soul if that means anything to you.

We have thousands of languages now because God confused the language of man after the tower of Babel incident.

God does not need language he can speak in our mind and any language will be covered in his thoughts.

you were in a restaurant and it was noisy and you looked up and there was this chick, she was beautiful and she smiled at you and stared into your eyes. that moment you knew to go over to say hello. Language is conveyed in different ways. i think don't be a litteralist.

In guess when God spoke to the cavemen, He grunted.
