I can't answer that, except, that perhaps God doesn't act as we would call, logically. Perhaps, He is above our logic, and His standard is to address us each individually.
Maybe, it's just confusing to us?
Maybe, we haven't been around long enough, for that standard to be accepted? After all, we humans haven't really been around that long, when you reference our existence to the age of the earth, or even the galaxy. We may not be mature enough yet.
It seems sort of arrogant doesn't it, to expect to understand the creator of everything?
