It's because that statement is false. It's a theory, and as such is subject to being proven incorrect. If that happens, there's no downside, we have learned more. But it hasn't happened yet.
What stance are you taking here? You seem to rag on the people who are working to understand the universe because they don't get everything right 100% of the time. Should everybody just stop trying? Where are you trying to go with this, because it sounds like the opposite of enlightenment.

Ignorant masses are easier to control, and what better way to keep people ignorant than to proclaim you've got the truth and if you question the truth you're going to hell? People are naturally curious, but even more natural than curiosity is fear.

We are probably on the same page. Everyone should keep trying to understand, do not accept an absolute truth when it comes how it began.
Which brings me back to, it would be a more sane argument of a Grand Designer (since God offends a few here) than there was nothing and then there was something. That something just happened to be perfectly uniform, but that was just an amazing chance.
