This could seem to be a tiny question by some, but it was posted as a snide, little comment by a Macroevolutionist freeper on a crevolist thread months ago. And it does seem to be rather big.

The question was basically that if the Bible is taken literally, what about a seed of mustard being the smallest? Looked at Creationist sources, and to be frank, their answers to the question/criticism was infuriating--one more or less just childishly blew off the topic without giving an adequate explanation.

There are a lot of intelligent Creationist freepers on FR. Can one of you give an explanation about the mustard topic? (this is asking Creationists specifically--at least trying to get Creationist comments first before snarky Macroevolutionist ones (and do personal requests have to be fair anyway?)).

The parable of the mustard seed simply presents a situation in which the seed under discussion is smaller than all other seeds the man sowed on the soil. Some or all other seeds in the parable may be mustard seeds themselves, but the one under discussion is the smallest.
