Actions speak louder than words

Hi,

Regarding the decision to begin the Torah with a description of the act of creating, instead of the Name of Gd:

"R' Yudin cited Achilles: To One such as this it is worthy to call 'Gd'! Normally, a flesh and blood king has himself praised in the land when he has not yet built baths for her, when he has not yet built privies. First he mentions his name, and then his praiseworthy achievements. The One of the world, though, acted and then was praised.

"Shimon ben Azzai said, based on "And Your humility increases me (Samuel II 22)": Flesh and blood mentions his own name and then his praiseworthy achievements, So-and-so Augustus, So-and-so Protata, but Gd is not thus. Once He created the needs of His world, then He mentioned His Name – Bereishit bara [In the beginning He created] and then Elokim."

(Midrash, Bereishit Rabbah 1:12)
