Why couldn't the atheist be quiet a bit, so I could recieve an answer from God?

An atheist was going on and on about how there was no God on campus. He was on a podium and had a mic. Well in his excitement to let us fools on campus know that there is no God, he fell off the podium right on his duff. Amazingly he was still going on, with the "No God" bit. Well I was waiting for a response from God that said "Help that poor fool, child". Yet the atheist was so loud I couldn't hear anything
