Personally, there is no doubt in my mind that God is the Creator of the universe and that He created by speaking words. I have no trouble believing this, simply because I see it confirmed throughout the Bible.
Explosive energy
The amount of power that must have accompanied His words at creation, however, is beyond my understanding. Who knows, there was loud thunder and explosive energy when it all happened...
These past two weeks, I've been meditating on Psalm 33, specifically verse 6. Here it is:
The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born (Psalm 33:6).
No life without His breath
I find this so fascinating. God breathed the word! His breath (ruach in Hebrew) creates. When He breathes, birth takes place. No life without His breath. Read Psalm 104 if you like, fascinating, just fascinating. All of creation depends on God's life-giving breath, this includes the stars.
When you give them your breath, life is created, and you renew the face of the earth (Psalm 104:30).
Revived
It is no wonder that when we read God's Word, we come alive. We get revived and inspired. It is no wonder that Jesus told his disciples 'The very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life' (John 6:63). God's words are spirit (there is that word again: breath) and life.

Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
