There's a lot of people who claim to be science lovers who think this way too. They liked watching Bill Nye and participating in science class as a kid. But now that they're adults, they expect to already know everything and aren't interested in learning more. Even Einstein thought this way. That's why he said "God does not play dice with the universe".
These anti science reactions are especially common if you tell people about fringe or advanced science or occultism. Like if you discuss how consensus reality is a social construct and our beliefs are highly influential of our perceptions, thus permitting control of perception through belief, a lot of people's eyes will glaze over and then they'll yell about how science is exactly what they learned in school and not an inch more.
That's the opposite of why he said that though. He said that because he felt that the things that seemed random couldn't actually be random and that there was something more that they didn't understand. In other words, he felt he didn't know enough and wanted to learn more. Not sure where you came up with the idea that he wasn't interested in learning more.
