An analogy like this could only have been inspired by a visit to the Eternal City:
On trying to understand the universe we are not that different to a 3 year old inside a vast restaurant kitchen, with all its utensils and ingredients, attempting to guess how on earth a nice pepperoni pizza was put together in this place.
We know there is flour involved, we are on the verge of discovering water might also be a key ingredient (we know not it is best to use it warm and mixed with salt and yeast) and we kind of suspect the oven in the corner might have something to do with it too. But with many missing ingredients and no recipe whatsoever how will we know what else is missing and that one, for example, should not to put the flour in the oven until it has been mixed with the water?
Will we ever get there?
