This is one reason why we will give account for every useless word, and by our words we will be justified or by our words we will be condemned.
You just proved the fallacy that I pointed out. How in the world would god us 'words' to speak it into existence, that makes zero sense. So you're resorting to magic phrases to pop the universe into existence like "ABRACADABRA"? Sorry, I'd rather believe the universe popped into existence out of nothing for no reason xD.

By Him were all things made.
And the Word became flesh.
So, God made the world with words of power.
Makes more sense to me than, "all this came from nothing that exploded".
We OBSERVE that life comes from life.
Hint- God is the living God.
But when a god uses magic to speak the universe into existence, you're fine with that? If the universe is a magic trick, it's simpler for it to be a self sustained magic trick than to propose an even more complex magician to cause it to happen. Anyway, most atheists do not believe the universe came from nothing, we normally claim physical reality always existed, or that it came from some sort of quantum state. Saying "oh, but it makes more sense than it coming from nothing" is a straw man, because it's your own theological beliefs that the universe came from nothing.
