I think it's an interesting quote as Vibe said, regardless of the issues that people may have with it. It's not supposed to be taken as someone's arguement for the existence of a higher being.
For me, it's something where you read it and think, "I never thought about it that way," and even though you can see flaws in it, it may act to ground you in that you don't know how everything in the universe works.

If you try to show everyone the sound of one hand clapping (a la bart simpson) or explain how a tree that falls in the woods really makes a sound whether or not anybody is around, you've missed the point of the koan.
