If evidence for god is in abundance, why is faith necessary?

(The smallest amount) and God will move mountains of doubt.

I found you need the faith to simply ask and then follow where God leads.

You've got that mixed up.  The correct version is if you have a mustard seed's worth of faith and don't doubt then you can command a mountain to jump into the sea and it will obey you.  Of course you will kill a lot of people and cause a lot of damage if you do that with a mountain so do it with a tree instead.  nd if you do you will have been the only person in the history of humanity who has ever had enough faith to do that.  So since you have never been able to have a tree obey your commands to jump into the nearest body of water it's obvious that you don't have any faith.  

Jesus never did the tree or mountain trick himself so he didn't have any faith either.
