"If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." - Matthew 17:20
Most people believe this analogy to mean that it only takes a very small amount of faith (small seed) to move a mountain. I'm not sure that is an accurate interpretation.
The fact that the tiny mustard seed grows to be a huge tree-sized bush implies a LOT of faith to me. Christ may be telling us that if we want to move a mountain -- or have nothing impossible to us -- we must have a LOT of faith.
Kinda fits the empirical evidence, doesn't it?
