Of course there is the other side too with the theories of physical science
being 
"Gleichnisse". Of what other nature could they be at all. The question arises 
if language itself is any more than a "Gleichnis". 
(Virtual Reality - a new word for an old thing, for instance reading a book)

But maybe he just wanted to say that the explanations of the heart of matter
offered by science don't really explain what's behind but only give "examplary
stories". (Is one really to find everything consisting of tiny bits bouncing
about happily exchanging electrons ?)
Nobody objects because they fill the vacancy left by the gods. The speed of
light, 
the preservation of impulse etc. as dogmatic truths, their neglectance
blasphemious.
And even the deepest thinkers trying to find ways around behind, in
theologistic manner turning over theories of singularity, counting how many
angels it might 
take to fill a black hole.

It doesn't really make a difference in this sense whether Lazarus historically
happend, or whether Christ even physically existed, it's the story that
counts.
It must be a good one, otherwise it wouldn't stay around so long.
