He is not thinking before he is speaking. And as for his last comment, of course he wants you to accept his offer. If he did not want you to accept his offer, why would he have made an offer at all?
Interestingly, he gave you the right advice. It was the one you listed second; you should do what you think best. The other two, you should ignore.
And yes, you are right that the first and third things do not go well together. However, he could claim that only Allah knew at first, but now that he has had time to think about it, he knows, too.
His babbling makes me wonder if you might be better off with the other offer, but this sort of foolishness is too trivial to determine your future. You should think carefully about the offers and do what you think will be best for you in the long run.
As to your main question, people often use god as something to fill in any gaps in knowledge. Some do it so reflexively that it is what they immediately say, before thinking. That is what your boss appears to have done.
