Because it is an assertion that comes with literally no evidence and has literally zero explanatory value. If I can't rule out the specific imaginary monster you worship, I can't rule out any of the specific imaginary monsters other people worship. Or any that they don't worship. I would be bound to accept as plausible literally any explanation that can't be falsified. I couldn't rule out the idea that Super Mario created the universe with a magic mushroom because there is equal evidence that the Christian god did it.
I used 'literally' three times to emphasize the fact that creationists contribute negative value to this discussion, because the point of creationism is to invent the "correct" answers, not to discover them.
