I also like the fact that the analogy completely ignores god's omnisicience and omnipotence. How many mothers wouldn't let their kid come in the house covered in filth if they knew forcing them to stay outside would result in their kid's death, and how many mothers would sit by idly as a car they had the power to stop ran over their kid in the street?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
