If something can't come from nothing, then he must have used something to create the universe. "Speaking" it into existence implies that the universe just 'popped' into existence, from nothing. Which would mean something can come from nothing.
Which is it?
You are confining God to the rules of our universe. God is outside of our universe. He created the rules.
You are confining the origin of our universe to the rules of our current universe. The origin of our universe is outside our current universe. The Big Bang created the rules.
There is a small-yet-significant difference between our two statements: there is empirical evidence for my statement.
