I understand it is but a simple analogy to try to explain why
there are people who believe in God, and some people who don't. It
is also but a stepping stone to first try to establish the
existence of a spiritual being of power, if any, and not yet trying
to find out exactly who this being is.
after many years here, i have never believe in analogies, the
true step to find out about anything is to take a long hard look at
it, for some it strengthen their faith, for some its losing their
faith
