Where ever you heard this, this information is wrong.
The
latest data supports the idea that the universe began with a singularity.
The key to this is the pattern of the radiation. At smaller scales matter behaves differently than what we perceive in everyday life.
Fluctuations which may have occurred at these small scales does a good job of explaining the distribution of matter in the universe.
Think of it like a balloon. First you blow it up a little. You drip a drop of paint on it. Then blow up the balloon. The pattern in the blown up balloon is like the measurements scientists just made.
From here with a few calculations you can get back to the original drop of paint.
