It makes more sense than most explanations I've heard. But as you noted, it's basically a whole load of unsupported, unecessary assumptions.
And if God made the rules, I guess he could make it so that energy could be created. Otherwise he himself is bound by some sort of rules.
It's a valiant attempt to try and force some logic into a mythical belief. I name it, "God playing with himself"
Even as a Christian, I felt that God had to be bound by some laws. I felt that the entire idea of omnipotent and omniscient were our ideas about God. If God cannot act contradictory to his own nature, he is therefore not omnipotent. In fact, my entire theory of Hell was based on the idea that there were people who God could not embrace because they were a cancer in his body, so all he could do was cut them out. If God was truly omnipotent and could do anything he wanted, while at the same time being an all loving father, Hell made no sense whatsoever.
