Argumentation for belief in god

Disclaimer: This is not a original argument but it is still beautiful. It goes something like this.

The poet once said: "The whole world is in a glass of wine". I don't know what he means by that but scientifically he's quite right! You can separate the wine in pieces: you can learn about physics by the flow of the wine, the density of the wine, the electrons and atoms that are inside, you can learn about geography by scientifically researching its origins because a few atoms of the dirt that are from Italy, you can make psychological experiments on how it effects you, you can make mathematical formulas about how the water flows, you can learn about architecture and engineering by seeing how the wine glass is constructed and is holding the wine and you can break this wine into infinitely many pieces that we call subsets of science. I however say: we should put all these pieces together, not to have a even greater science or meaning, but instead to drink and enjoy the wine.

For those that didn't get the metaphor: God is the wine which we should drink, instead of empirically analyze.
