How come people who interacted with God never asked him intelligent or difficult questions?

I mean you said

No, what's really hard to explain is why all the humans in the stories behave in the same fashion as well. Whenever an interaction with a God, or Gods if you will, I have some rudimentary knowledge about the Vedas and Pagan myths but I haven't looked much further than that, but from what I did, I assume the pattern is roughly the same, takes place, none of the people involved ever pose any elaborate inquiries, or endless questions in a manner that you'd expect from someone who gets the chance to communicate with the creator of the universe.

And also :

All of the more complex arguments which you see here for example, or the methods theists use to defend their beliefs. Apparently no one ever thought to sit down and discuss them with whichever God or representative of God he was talking to

I think I could take many of the things that the author of the book of Ezra asked of God and find several posts here asking the same questions.

And this was just one example, I feel like I've read more in the past but this out stuck out in my mind.

People might've tried doing so, but it was just never recorded. Why wouldn't it be recorded among so many other insignificant details or events recorded in the Bible? An interview with God would not be recorded?

This is solved now.

I understand you didn't like those answers and I don't either. I don't agree with the implications of the conversation because I am a universalist.

Nonetheless for the purposes of your original topic I think it settles it. Obviously we wish they asked some better questions like "how can I create unlimited energy?", oh well :(
