"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."
I don't suppose this was meant to be taken literally. Has anyone a metaphorical view on this? Maybe the mustard seed is representative of the atom as splitting that shifted a few mountains. Maybe it means that we should look to do the impossible. Haven't we done it many times throughout history?
We can make it mean anything we want it to mean and just maybe, jesus was full of it, who knows?
