The how/why that singularity formed is, to date, impossible to determine because known physics breaks down at that point. But the theory most definitely doesn't have stuff magically coming into existence. The stuff was already there. It just violently (and hotly) expanded.
So he didn't even know what he was attempting to argue against.
And even here nothing and everything is not entirely uncontroversial. We are forever inside the one singularity event of which we are aware. We do not know what context could give rise to that singularity. But there is no conclusive evidence for it having been nothing. Likewise we do not know that everything we can detect is everything there is.
