JESUS' pronouncement, "Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ... if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done," was "an hard saying" then, and has been incomprehensible to many Bible students in the intervening centuries. But now it is made clear through the revelation of Christian Science.
That the "mountain," the material world about us, is not the substantial thing it appears to be to the physical senses, has been admitted by the physical scientists of today, one of whom defines matter as "holes in the ether." And there is certainly nothing tangible or substantial in that!
In a logical, comprehensive, and wholly scientific way Christian Science explains the unreality of matter. Starting with the premise of God as infinite Spirit, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, through revelation, reason, and demonstration made the deduction that there is no matter, since its unlikeness to Spirit precludes its existence within Spirit, and Spirit's infinitude leaves no place for it. This is the absolute and scientific fact Of creation; but to prove or demonstrate this fact requires not only growth in spiritual understanding but also a comprehension of the claim of matter and its unreal nature, for it is as essential scientifically to see matter as nothing as it is to magnify God as infinite. Indeed, one involves the other.
