Why is faith important?

RE: Why is faith important?
(February 28, 2013 at 11:20 pm)Drich Wrote: Mat 17:20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief;[d] for assuredly, I say to you, 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. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”[e]

I'm a little confused on this part actually. In Jesus' example, is he giving a hyperbole for purposes of example? If you have faith, then prayer and fast a bit, can one appeal for magical things like mountains moving positions to happen? Or are these appeals limited to natural laws?
Seems that sort of thing would be in the news.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
