Would religion exist if the first humans had our scientific knowledge?
I am steadfast in my opposition of religion.
I believe there is a beauty to mystery and living well. I believe religion unknowingly does its followers wrong. It tells them that all beauty you see is God's doing.
I believe God is the ultimate manifestation of not knowing the answers. He is the life-filled alternative to an "I don't know."
I believe religion functions as ethics, as philosophy, for those too weak to act good on their own fruition, and need some sort of motivation to be good: a ticket to heaven will do.
So, my question is this: do you believe that, if the first humans knew everything we know today -- about biology, chemistry, physics, economics, and so on -- would religion exist? If so, why? If not, would this be a good or bad thing?

Jan 4 2013: If we define religion as a human construct having no necessary spiritual connection to the one True God, then yes, there would still be thousands of different, quarreling religions today. The essence of religion is Man seeking to flesh-out and codify his imaginings of the god he wishes existed (aka Idolatry).Such activity would be affected, but not eliminated by adding to early Man's body of knowledge

Thank you for your provocative question!Jan 5 2013: Your question implies that science and religion have emerged and evolved separately and in sequence, but it is not the case; it's never the case with anything else ! Everything , and i do mean everything grows together , it's concrecence.
As Einstein put it: all arts, science and religions are branches of the same tree.

Jan 5 2013: Hi again nn

First I will have to comply with TED rules and post something that relates to the tread above. A subject that appears as often on TED as the subject "What is Happiness or Why am I not Happy" does....gee maybe the two questions are related!!! :-)
All Religions are man-mind-made ....all discoveries made by man-mind are a reflection of that same mind that invents Religions therefore the two Science/Religion cannot b separate in anyway other then that individual minds-egos want to do so.
Hi again nn
And yes I did and a big smile to "thank us" …..and yes any subject worth the context within "thank us" does not suit a "debate" of any kind. All true "Truths" are subjective after all.
Before a go further I would highly suggest your return to your last post to me and remove your e-mail now. (There are plenty of nut cases on the TED forums) I have it now and tag you with the refs you have requested, by that rout, after I sign off here.
Here is a quick quote to end here
"Daskalos: This is very precious work, most vital to our effort to understand and experience the relative truths and advance in our development. It is not enough that we sit and talk and talk, for as I often repeat in the lessons we must not accept anything unless we ourselves have experienced it. Truths unexperienced quickly degenerate into dogmatism."
Jan 5 2013: The difference between science and religion is consistency and proof.Jan 6 2013: I quote the great Christopher hitchens
" where religion ends philosophy begins. Where astrology ends astronomy begins. Where alchemy ends chemistry begins,"
Science evolved as the replacement to religious or supernatural ideas such as earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, meteors, the northern lights, the tides, rivers, mountains, weather patterns, the sun itself, the formation of the earth etc etc once all had supernatural explanations but are now replaced by scientific explanations
Jan 6 2013: Let's fallow this logic : when Newtonian physics ends QM begins. But classical physical laws were laws of nature and absolute/objective/scientific truth.
It makes science a record of dead religions.
And if you think astrology and alchemy is not science you terribly diminish this enterprise, which i respect.
I do
Jan 7 2013: No you're Newtonian example doesn't work, it would be closer to say relativity rather than qm but Newtownian physics is largely included in relativity and is merely improved upon. They explain two different aspects the macro and the micro and there is a search currently going on to link the two
Science is the history of evidence, what is currently believed is what current evidence suggests, something's we have reason to think will change in the near future, others we don't such as gravity like it would take a lot of new evidence to disprove gravity as opposed to one version of the multiverse theory which the Lisa telescope will prove or disprove
And astrology and alchemy aren't sciences, you can't get degrees or doctorates in either of them. Alchemy is sheer ignorance of the atomic model, no chemical reaction on earth will turn one element into another ( gold is usually the one alchemists used to try to attain) but through evidence and experiments we discovered that nuclear fusion turns two elements into one larger one and that's called physicsJan 7 2013: The very division 'macro/micro' reveals the cartesian
mindset :)
' As above so below ' , the laws that governs the universe are simple and truly uni-versal.
Watch this video, if you haven't yet, it's simply brilliant, no words are necessary , no ambiguity here, you can see with your own eyes how it works.
You think that QM is an 'improvement' , inevitable development of N. Ph., let me try to explain shortly why i think it is not.
Btw. classical physics is defined as a ' limiting case ' in QM, not the basis on which it grows.
The subject of QM is the Whole and Parts are the result of the analysis, while in classical physics , parts are fundamental, the Whole is just a convenient notion to assemble the parts.
Don't you see the difference ?
"... astrology and alchemy aren't sciences, you can't get degrees or doctorates in either of them "
Please...., tell me you are kidding :)
Jan 7 2013: You're making no sense, I said relativity was an improvement on Newtown, qm is a whole different thing. Qm deals with quarks, gluons, bosons, photons etc and they come with the uncertainty principle
Relativity deals with larger things such as galaxies and there is no uncertainty principle in the macro because we can know a trucks position and momentum whereas we can't know both for a quark or photon.
And yes I'm being serious Oxford, Cambridge, trinity college Dublin, queens Belfast. St. Andrews, imperial college London, Harvard, MIT all do not offer alchemy or astrology as subjects you can learnJan 7 2013: Where do you think Newton came from ?
He was an alchemist, and practiced this art with passion.
If you don't see any sense in what i am saying, then i'd better not to waste your/my time any longer, but it doesn't mean that there is no sense in what i am saying :)
Best to you !
Jan 7 2013: Yes yes Newtown was an alchemist and he had no success with it at all, sure Charles Darwin was a creationist until he discovered evolution, also you base your assumption on the idea that with a modern education Newtown would still embrace alchemy
With new evidence comes new ideasJan 7 2013: No success ? ! After rediscovering in the middle of the twentieth century N's papers, most scholars now concede that Newton was first an foremost an alchemist. It is also becoming obvious that the inspiration for Newton's laws of light and theory of gravity came from his alchemical work.
And talking about Charles Darwin, don't forget about Russel Wallace, the theory of evolution was called initially Darwin-Wallace theory of evolution. And Wallace appeared to be far more advanced scientist then his time could afford. he had the idea of ' engine' that corrects the mistakes before they occur ; It's the idea of field , conscious field. His idea was suppressed and forgotten alongside with the name. It's very interesting stuff, google it, maybe you'll get new, OK, slightly altered idea of how the scientific doctrine of objectivity was shaped, ' objectivity' is relative to the mindset you bring to it..
And now we are in topic again. No need to go far, let me quote from the comment above :
"All Religions are man-mind-made ....all discoveries made by man-mind are a reflection of that same mind that invents Religions therefore the two Science/Religion cannot be separate "
I am on boad with this vision .
Jan 7 2013: How, just how? You link me an article or paper that claims that newtons belief in two chemicals mixing to form one caused him to form the theory of gravity. That is the biggest gap in logic I've ever heard.
Please define for me what you think alchemy is?
And I'm not arguing that he wasn't an alchemist I know he was but there is no way it influenced him.
And it wasn't that he necessarily discovered gravity, it's just the maths was too complex to understand gravity, so he invents calculus and this aids him in working out the properties of gravity and how it held the solar system together.
And I'm still willing to bet my whole foe on it that if Newton had of been taught about the atom, electrons, and some basic chemistry which 12 year olds learn he'd realise alchemy was wrong, like imagine living in his time when you don't even know what things are made of, of course you'll think alchemy could work. But evidence changes and so do views with evidence and its here I give Newton the benefit of the doubt that if he had modern evidence he would fully embrace it and feel foolish for once thinking that he could make gold by mixing chemicalsJan 7 2013: Actually, somehow i understand ' how' , but i need to write a book to explain and most likely i won't succeed.
I'll try to find links.
Peter Law
Jan 4 2013: I arrived at Christianity after studying the way the world works; so folks like me would still believe, as the information is the same. There seem to be folks that are open to God, & folks who aren't. One set read the data one way, the others read it the other way. The content of the data seems, to me, to be irrelevant, we will skew it to suit ourselves.
- +3
Jan 4 2013: this is in fact a better answer than it seems at a glance. indeed, we live in an era of science, yet many people are untouched by it. we can fly to the moon, but some people doubt evolution. only one seventh of the world's population are christians, and nobody was christian 2000 years ago, yet some people claim that moral can only originate from god. being exposed to science does not mean it penetrates under the skin. most people can benefit from science, yet do not understand of believe in it.
Jan 5 2013: Do you think an 'I don't know but want to' is better than investing your faith in uncertainty? "Anyone who expresses a definitive response to the question, "does the universe have a purpose." or, "is there a god?" is claiming access to knowledge not based in empirical foundations. This remarkably persistent way of thinking -- common to most religions and some branches of philosophy -- has failed badly to understand, and thereby predict, the operations of the universe." -- Neil DeGrasse TysonJan 6 2013: Yes. And this is not a debate, this is a fact. Scientology, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Advents - They all answer your question. Their beliefs are no more or less credible than ancient religions, and just as far removed from reality. The difference is these are modern belief systems created regardless of what science told them.Jan 4 2013: Einstein told us that religion is not for nothing. Maybe you are not being completely fair as religions vary. Some may not be exactly what you consider religious.
pat gilbert
Jan 4 2013: Yes, because it is organic to us. Hmm lets see where have they banned religion? Not completely but definitely to some degree China, Germany, the USSR, Cambodia, etc
- +1
Jan 5 2013: The question is about whether our ancestors would have the need for religion, if they had the knowledge we have today.
You are talking about dictatorships that have banned religion.
Please explain your logic?
Jan 5 2013: Which I answered with the an in depth yes.
He then asked would that be good or bad, I indicated that imo in the places where they put restrictions on religion it appeared to be a bad thing?
Jan 5 2013: This isn't about the restriction of beliefs. This is about how you think our society would have progressed -- with or without religion? -- given our ancestors knew everything we know about science and the physical world.Jan 5 2013: Those were places where religion was restricted, I point out that they might be indicative of whether this would be good or bad.
Jan 5 2013: So you would accept the crusades, the Spanish inquisition and suicide bombers as an indication of the opposite point of view?Jan 5 2013: and that would be the other perspective. Definitely not a scientific correlation.
Either way my point is that religion and spirituality are organic to humans.
The fact that it get perverted is not surprising. The good news is that when it does the religion goes extinct like the Shakers.
Jan 5 2013: I believe you are mistaking scientific correlation with personal opinion.
Again, what we are discussing is human beings free choice, and whether they would choose religion. Derailing the debate into the extremes does not help anyone.
Asking questions and a desire to understand our place in the world is inherent to humans. We are capable of fulfilling this without religion.
I'm not trying to attack your religion, but you must respect that some people find religions contradictory, archaic and man made.
Before we discovered gravity it was a common belief that in order to explain the world, one must have a deity in order to keep the everything in motion. Would this be the case if they new what we know today?
pat gilbert
Jan 5 2013: I will agree to disagree

Happy New Year
Jan 5 2013: Hi Pat
I thought that was what debates were for. Not to agree, but at least distill the essence of the disagreement.
As it is, I do not know what you disagree with or why.
Either way, happy new year to you too.Jan 5 2013: It appears to me to boil down to is religion organic to man or not. I side with the prior.Feb 2 2013: Science is the search for truth.Truth is based on facts.All facts will never be known. Even today, there remain many concepts unexplained. Religions, I suppose were brought in to fill that void. Religions even provide explanations for things for which there are no scientific explanations. I think, Religion and Science are at the two ends of a bipolar continuum. Religion will continue to exist as long as subjectivity exists. Human beings will always remain subjective no matter what progress they make in Science. With more experiments they will move closer to Science on the continuum and become more objective, but it will never be 100%.Jan 19 2013: It would have to exist; how else would the first humans get that knowledge without thousands of years of experiment, trial and error and learning? It would have to come to them through some superior being (god?) tapping them on the head with a magic wand.Jan 6 2013: "Would religion exist if the first humans had our scientific knowledge?"
Yes, religion is not just an explanation for natural phenomena, it's also an emotional comfort (life after death, supreme justice).
Gavin J
Jan 6 2013: Yes, because scientific (objective) knowledge would not have prevented any subjectivity from ever arising. From a perspective of spirituality, no scientific evidence disproves the existence of God or a soul - simply because this evidence is purely objective.
- 0
Curiosity about the subjective would of course still have been around, as it is today. Science and religion do not conflict for me personally.Jan 6 2013: Well, by your definition of religion and god as ethics, philosophy and the manifestation of the unknown, yes it would still exist. And part of the reason that it would still exist are the reasons you listed. For example, the whole god(s)/science debate. They are both ways of explaining the things that aren't known. Religion as ethics and philosophy? Legal and political systems, even though religions try to be judged as separate from legal and political systems while acting as both. Even if we wouldn't have organized religions as we do now, we'd still have religion, just a different conception of religion.Jan 5 2013: Given your caveat yes. Humans long for the transcendent. For me, the Cassini Mission was such an experience, but then I believe that religion trivializes the miracle of life. The problem with religion is that if you assume knowledge of ultimate truth then you have a justification for imposing your belief on others and human history is full of examples of what happens when large groups of people buy into tthis kind of fairy tale. But it does have benefits. It deepens our intelligence, and makes us think beyond the immediate. But, in order to buy into the theistic program you must believe in things that are not verifiable.and accept things that are obviously impossible and counter to the best interests of humankind. Religion was our first attempt at defining ourselves and the world we live in. But as we grew as a race of primates we began to question reality and we discovered that revelatory religious philosophies do not explain the world,, the universe, we live in. But religious institutions whose main interest is in maintaining their power base, manipulate their doctrine, dogma and commands to attain their goals regardless of the cost. Religion has played an important part in the moral, ethical, and intellectual growth of mankind. But we have changed. We are not children and we no longer check under the bed at night to make sure there are no monsters there. God is one of the two gods of christianity. The other is satan. Candy from god, a bribe, fear of damnation from the devil a threat. If we were talking politics you would reject out of hand such hypocritical manipulation. The Allies won the battles in WW2,but facism won the war. It's still here..Jan 5 2013: We are pattern seeking animals. Thats the good part
We will take any pattern even if it is hogwash over no pattern at all. That is the bad part.
Even with our knowledge today, we don't know everthing, there would still be a drive to explain unexplainable events.
I think religion would probably spontaneously occur and then be corrupted into the power/control function it plays today.
While I would not go as far as to call this "ignorance", in a sense it is ignorance of the forces driving the human condition.Jan 4 2013: So many men and women of science (past and present) are devoted to God despite their depth of knowledge.
It would not be right to assume that people only seek to know God or about Him due to ignorance or uncertainties.
Jan 6 2013: So do people hold to religious beliefs out of stubbornness?Jan 4 2013: I like Edward Long's comment. If you assume that religion is man-made and based on mythology, then absolutely, it wouldn't exist. Well, maybe it would just because humans are like that, but it still wouldn't do us any good. There's no point to man-made religion. I don't deny that many religions in the world are man-made, and you're absolutely right in saying they're unnecessary. You don't need religion to be moral. There have been all kinds of atrocities committed in the name of religion. I think religion is there to show truth that we couldn't know unless God tells us. Like what happens after death, the purpose of life, etc. If a religion doesn't claim to tell you what's really out there, then what good is it? The purpose of religion should not be just to get people to be better, it's to enable them to get to heaven. Heaven isn't just a carrot, it's a reality. If it's not a reality there's no point to the religion.Jan 4 2013: Yes
Because even with our current level of scintific understanding till now there are lot science educated people who are religious .......why it is so you think?
Moreover I feel first human neither had religious belief nor scientific knowledge both evolved much later....(the title question of the main post sounds , that first human came with religious belief ...which I disagree)Jan 4 2013: Yes.
There is a second aspect to religion. Religion also provides a power structure.
Knowledge is power. Just the perception of knowledge provides power to the one who is perceived as knowing. We can be confident that someone would take advantage of this aspect of human behavior. There are many questions that science cannot address, and the power hungry would take advantage of these questions, providing whatever answers would best suit their purpose.
If you can convince the masses that you know WHY we are here, many will follow you.
Gail .
Jan 4 2013: If the earliest knew ALL truthful knowledge that is known today, there would have been no need for religion.
- 0
today, we know that volcanoes are not hungry gods and the rumblings are not the god's hunger pains.
Today we know that hurricanes and droughts are caused by specific occurrences - in Africa or the west coast of south america, respectively.
We know that the universe is big and the earth is not its absolute center.
We know that time is very different from that which we thought about it only 50 years ago.
We know that earthquakes are caused by stress on tectonic plates, and that mega tsunamis that kill so many are caused by earthquakes.
We know that lightening, not angry gods, creates forest/brush fires.
We know that planets are not gods and that we can make artificial planets that can give us enormous amounts of information.
We know that earth's resources are finite and that we CAN destroy our own nest, thus ourselves.
Some of us know that we are powerful creatures in our own right, as powerful as the gods that some invent, and that we cannot be victimized by others without our consent.
If you take ALL truthful knowledge that we know today, not only would there be no religion, but there would be few if any social problems. This would inspire evolution in all areas.
Jan 4 2013: What I'm saying is that all that stuff that turned out to be bogus was -- and so, still is -- the foundation for the foundation for the foundation of today's most common doctrines: Christianity, Islam, Judaism. Knowledge changes one day at a time; and so, by the time it was possible to prove all of these things that were, and still are, explanatory FACTUAL CLAIMS, they had evolved into more than just assertions; they were myths, legends, dogmas. They were the basis for living, and people couldn't just throw them away, so they stuck around, for just one more day, just one more day... Just one more day (just one more day.)Jan 4 2013: Well, the fact is that with all that we have today, most of the world today is religious. Which I don't understand. Can anyone who is religious explain it to me?Jan 4 2013: I am steadfast as well, but I come down as an atheist because I have no need for religion. There may very well be a God but in every case of belief I've seen, in every person, they need God. It's a very one-sided relationship! The debate around the existence of God is a fascinating one, only because it attracts some of the dumbest people on the planet.
I actually can't understand people who cannot admit that they don't know. What the hell is so wrong with that? I have no idea what it would be like to not exist, it doesn't scare me because I cannot imagine how that would feel or anything. I don't know what happens. I don't know how we came to be. It doesn't bother me from day to day because it seems quite clear what I'm supposed to do in life.
So no, religion as we know it would not exist if we were just popped up one day like this. The world's larger religions are all traditionally stubborn and close-minded, they've changed such a tiny amount over the course of their lifetimes. Some even dying out because they couldn't change or adapt to new evidence. In our hypothetical situation, no it wouldn't be a bad thing because we don't get morality from religion, or anything else for that matter. It's all inherit to human nature, it was demonstrated that Rhesus monkeys (I think, cannot remember for sure) show morality towards each other when imbalances are observed with food.
I listen to a podcast that had mentioned that there was a panel of experts whom discussed all the history of religion and whether or not it's been wholly good or bad for people. They said they decided upon bad, I'd have to agree with that.Jan 3 2013: If you threw* back in time: a computer/hard drive with everything we know about modern science, everything.
I think they would just make a religion out of all the material; cryptic language, fancy symbols, weird ideas...
Could be turned into a religion much like ancient Islam - religion, politics and science all into one idea of God...
Tough break.

Nashua Stretch & Seal Self Fusing Silicone Tape, is an adhesive-free tape that fuses only to itself. This silicone rubber tape is suitable for dozens of applications where a good water-tight seal is needed. Applications for Nashua Stretch & Seal include: sealing pipes, electrical wiring, wires and hoses; covering sharp edges; protecting against rust and corrosion; wrapping tool handles; marking chain and rope. Stretch & Seal creates an instant, permanent water-tight seal (can even apply in wet conditions) and can withstand temperatures from -60°F to +500°F. Chemical and UV resistant. Can be kept in vehicles for emergency hose repairs. Easy to apply and to remove (is repositionable to achieve a proper seal) and no sticky adhesive residue left on surfaces. When applying the tape make sure it overlaps itself (since it only adheres to its own backing) and stretch/pull the tape tightly around the object.
(1 to 23 rolls)
(24 to 119 rolls)
(120 to 239 rolls)
(>= 240 rolls)
* see individual roll price to left
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

A new study by the Heritage Foundation reveals that U.S. children in married-parent families are more than 80 percent less likely to live in poverty than kids in single-parent homes. The Heritage study finds that nearly three out of four poor families in America are headed by a single parent — usually a mother — but when a child's father is married to his mother, and is a presence in the home, the poverty level tends to plummet.
"Policymakers on the state and national levels recognize that education reduces poverty," said the study's author, Robert Rector, who serves as senior research fellow in domestic policy at Heritage. "But they're largely unaware that marriage is an equally strong anti-poverty weapon."
The study notes that in Florida, as just one example, white families headed by single parents are five times more likely to live in poverty than those headed by married couples. And in Illinois, the poverty rate for a single mother with only a high school education stands at nearly 40 percent, compared with just eight percent for a similarly educated married couple.
Rector writes that "being married has the same effect in reducing poverty that adding five to six years to a parent's level of education has."

Some of the suave-est disco-pop since Daft Punk's Discovery is coming out of Melbourne, Australia, courtesy of Miami Horror, led by mastermind Benjamin Plant.
The group's breakout 2010 album Illumination throws a bit of chill-wave wash onto house-inspired grooves, slap-happy bass and melancholy pop melodies — mingling most gloriously on the New Order-esque standout "Sometimes." There's plenty of behind-the-boards trickery — and cameos from Neon Indian's Alan Palomo, Kimbra and MAI — fueling the record, so Plant and Co. should have their hands full reanimating Illumination's thrills onstage when they hit Nashville on Thursday, June 16.
The show starts at 9 p.m. at the Mercy Lounge (1 Cannery Row, 251-3020). Tickets are $12.

Not content with Black Canary, Arsenal, the Huntress, Deathstroke, Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, China White, Doctor Ivo, or upcoming characters like The Flash and Amanda Waller, Arrow has just added Batman's protégé Nightwing to its ever-increasing cast, to be played by Steve McQueen of The Vampire Diaries fame.
Apparently McQueen is pretty excited about the role, as he tweeted this pic of himself getting ready for the show:

— Steven McQueen (@McQueeninchains) November 9, 2013
Here's the million dollar question: If the rumors about Man of Steel 2 adding in members of the extended Bat-family are true, could Nightwing be the character that ties the DC movie-verse and the DC TV-verse together? Could McQueen be playing Nightwing in both? Or will DC/WB keep a firm line between church (TV) and state (movies), either by keeping them separate or hiring another Nightwing for the movie? Hmm...

Atlas orbits around the outer edge of Saturn's A Ring and acts as a shepherding satellite, constraining the extent of the outer edge of this ring.
Like Pan, Atlas has a distinctive flying saucer shape created by a prominent equatorial ridge not seen on the other small moons of Saturn. Cassini images revealed in 2004 that a faint ring of material coincides with the orbit of Atlas.
The small, pointy moon is about 32 km (20 miles) across.
Atlas was discovered in 1980 by R. Terrile and the Voyager 1 team.
How Atlas Got its Name:
Moons of Saturn were originally named for Greco-Roman Titans and descendants of the Titans. But as many new moons were discovered scientists began selecting names from more mythologies, including Gallic, Inuit and Norse stories.
Originally designated S/1980 S28, this moon is named after Atlas (AT-less), a Titan, and a son of Iapetus. Atlas was ordered by Zeus to uphold the vault of the sky after the defeat of the Titans. Atlas was so strong that he supported the weight of the Universe on his shoulders.

En español | There are bean salads, grain salads and green salads, and then there are the exceptional salads that incorporate all three — beans, grains and greens — into one fresh, satisfying complete meal. These salads not only are pretty to look at and fun to eat but also are easy to make.
Follow the recipes below, or use them to get ideas for building your own bean, grain and green salads. Include what you've got in your own kitchen, what's in season or what your palate craves. There's no need to add protein. The bean-and-grain combo in each salad means the protein is complete.
Use a simple formula: Pick a bean and cook a grain — you'll need a generous four cups total. After that, choose a vegetable or two, or fresh fruit. Add optional flavors — intense ingredients such as olives, capers, potent cheeses or dried fruit.
Herbs are optional, too. I've included one in each recipe, but the salads are tasty enough without them. Every good salad needs a little onion, though. You can use scallions — both white and green parts — or red onions, which are nice for color.
Dress these salads simply with just olive oil, salt, pepper and an acid such as vinegar, lemon or lime juice. You can also toss them with your favorite vinaigrette.
Give these recipes a try and I hope you soon will be creating your own.
Bowtie, Lentil and Arugula Salad With Tomatoes and
Red Onion
Serves 4 as a main course or 6 to 8 as a side dish
- 1 cup dry lentils
- Salt
- 6 ounces (about 2 1/2 cups) uncooked bowtie pasta
- 1 medium-large tomato, cut into small dice
- 1 medium-large carrot, peeled and grated
- 1/4 medium red onion (about 1/2 cup) sliced thin
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 cups packed arugula (or other baby lettuces)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Bring 1 1/2 quarts (6 cups) of water to boil in a large saucepan or small Dutch oven over high heat. Add lentils and a sprinkling of salt; return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add pasta and return to a boil; continue to cook until lentils and pasta are just tender, about 10 minutes longer. Drain and turn onto a rimmed baking sheet; cool.
Meanwhile, dice tomato, grate carrot, slice onion and chop basil, then add these ingredients, along with the lentils and pasta, to a large bowl. Add oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper; toss to coat. Drizzle with vinegar; toss to coat again. Adjust seasonings and serve.

Can a Childrens Book be written to explain String/M Theories, that is friendly and relatable?
Awe inspiring and thought provoking for children. My hope is build curiosity and beauty. Perhaps developing characters being Protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks, bosons, fermions. Any ideas on a story line to introduce youngsters to this theory?
James Zhang
Sep 7 2012: I would totally watch/read a super-hero comic/story or anime that tries to teach you physics in an under-handed way. Then they would use really cheesy internet memes or catchphrases. It'll be like Dragonball Z with the purpose of entertainment but the hidden purpose of science. And it'll have references to stuff like Bill Nye and the Magic School Bus.
- +2
Not sure if it's gonna be a "children's" story though, but it would be the coolest physics lessons ever lol
Sep 7 2012: Thats creative , entertaining and educational (in an under-handed way). I probably won't be able to get that out of my head now for a while. Good visual.
Sep 7 2012: " I probably won't be able to get that out of my head now for a while."
Good >:)Sep 9 2012: Thank You Budimir Zdravkovic for your insight. I can envision the illustrations in my mind, but to transfer that vision into a book into a readers mind is challenging yet fun. I considered creating a picture board to give me more direction. i find this project so interesting ecspecially with TED community members input.Sep 8 2012: You are talking about highly abstract and mathematical entities. Relating them to common experience may reduce the conceptual validity of the book.
Sep 8 2012: I have alot of homework to do but in that aspect of relating abstract and mathematical entities, math would be the key using a character to express an idea of an mathematical equation and making a relatabe fit. The concept of the theory would be validated by the theory itself in using these entities. I will do more research by other authors on how to introduce these, authors such as Steven Hawkins books for kids and kid friendly introductions from either Lawrence Hall of Science or Lawrence Berkeley Lab as suggested by Fritzie Reisner. What are your thoughts or suggestions on this?
Sep 8 2012: I think it could work, if you do a lot of research and brainstormed the ideas, if you review the concepts several times and you do careful editing. Also consulting with people who work in the field could also be useful.
If you manage to pull it off it would be a good idea. For instance I'm glad that I first got introduced into quantum mechanics through organic chemistry, it gave me a conceptual insight into the subject which I would've otherwise struggled with, if I were directly introduced to the math. Organic chemistry has a very neat way to illustrate the delocalization of electrons through illustrated molecular structures we call resonance structures. Here I learned that an electron is not 100% localized in space, instead you can have a fraction of a localized electron or a fraction of localized "chemical bond energy" in a given unit of space. Then when I got introduced to the math it was so much easier to understand what was going on.
So from my experience, illustrations help a lot.
Fritzie -
Sep 7 2012: For samples of similar projects, I would look at the two Stephen Hawkings books for kids and the kid-friendly introduction to particle physics from either Lawrence Hall of Science or Lawrence Berkeley Lab.
- +1
There are lots of online videos also, like a recent one from NASA, I think, about the Higgs boson.My son enjoyed these when he was younger.
Here is a start: http://particleadventure.org/ and http://mashable.com/2012/07/03/higgs-boson-cartoon/ and http://www.quarked.org/
Sep 7 2012: This is a huge task indeed and I thank you for the direction. Most interesting joiurney to go on but one I believe will be fun. Visualizing the Theory and introducing particles to children. You say your son enjoyed the books, How does he see the world today and has the aid of these books helped his understanding of partlcle physics? Was there something in particular that caught his attention the most?
Fritzie -
Sep 7 2012: Children are interested in what things are made of and where things come from. When I was growing up, we understood elements with their protons, neutrons, and electrons as the fundamental building blocks of "things.". Today's children know there are up and down quarks, charm quarks, fermions and bosons, neutrinos.....They know better how much there is beyond what they see with their eyes. (lots!)
- +1
He and his friends lamented the delay when the misalignment of the particle path closed the LHC down for almost a year. They waited eagerly for the announcement of a possible Higgs boson and understand that it is part of the explanation for why particles have mass. He knows its an attempt to fit the last piece into the standard model but that the frontier of science in that field reaches beyond the standard model. He knows big sister will be part of trying to push at that frontier.
Sep 7 2012: Maybe you should be writing a book. Great experiences. Very interesting and exciting, it makes me want to know more and thats exactly how I would like to make a reader feel. Thank you Fritzie Reisner.
Comment deleted
Sep 7 2012: My hope is to inspire the reader and visualize, what can't be seen but has endless possibilities . Sort of a journey of the mind and the ending just barely in your grasp. Bibliothek....that title still rings in my ears. Yes, will have to simpify the quarky fermi bosoms etc. It's an exciting journey doing just that.Sep 26 2012: http://stemtosteam.org/ Encouraging integration of Art and Design in K-20 Education. Championed by Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Bring forth the Right Brain Innovation. I think I was on the right track suggesting analyzing the brain of youngsters so they may absorb the idea more effectively. Right brain innovation is the answer.Sep 13 2012: http://www.education.virginia.gov/STEM-H-TRACT-2012.pdf This just out a few days ago. Interesting read, couldn't locate Theoretical Science in the list of fields. STEM is up and coming in Virginia. This is a draft beginning with a signed letter by Virginias' Governor.Sep 11 2012: I hope so. I would like to read it.Sep 11 2012: You are a very intelligent and informative person. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Battling an illness. I would like to put something out for younger children 6th grade and younger. Children really can things up early.
Much thanks to you BobSep 10 2012: Thats beautiful Bob. Yes I was thinking about introductory approaches because of the complexity. AFter looking at loads of text, conversations, etc. I am looking to also preparing the readers brain. What a task this is shaping up to be. The journey is awesome and your suggestions are great. in this process it is opening up so much information, different points of views, perspectives and knowledge. So I am researching the human brain, just a bit. I think it's also important to be responsible . I can just imagine a reader going to hear all these things in their future and debates, wouild like to leave them with one common thread, Would like to open their eyes to the possibility to see new things through New eyes. Hope that doesn't sound weird. But when I'm done , It will make sense. Thank You very much for your thoughts Bob. Greatly appreciated.
Sep 10 2012: Because the massive push in education right now is STEM your timing is great. I would suggest that you investigate the current natural science approach being employed by the educational text book writers. If youb align your series with their approach your biggest customer could be the school systems buying at least one set per library and perhaps as a classroom text. There are plenty of resources at the Junior High and High school levels. Where we fall behind is the preparation for science at the third grade through the sixth grades. Do your own research and find the target population. I think this is critical.
BobSep 10 2012: Antoinette, Your idea is like coming into the movie just as they kiss. I missed all the good and bad things that got them to the kiss.
You went right to the latest development in a long journey of physics. How about if you consider a series of books so that there is a backgound and a introduction to a science. To talk about CERN to someone who does not even know what a microscope is seems like a rush into things.
Book one: what is this thing called physics ..... Book 2: The energy story ... Book 3; Fun with force.
Get the idea. A building block approach to physics.
It woud probally be a great idea to start with natural sciences and progress to physics. The people who buy these book or would support your approach are G'ma and G'pa who had trouble with biology and never got to physics because it was for the top 10% in school. So that is your target population .... the buyer.
Call your series Natural Science the beauty of the universe. Physics sounds stuffy.
Just some thoughts.
All the best. Bob.Sep 7 2012: Good question. I considered the endless questions that children ask ,the "Whys?" "Howcome?" "Whats that?" and the "What ifs?" Decided to go with the What if question. Offering a childlike grasp on the story, through the eyes of a child. Thank you Ken Brown for your question.Sep 7 2012: How do you explain to a child that it is only a theory?
JP Piert
Sep 7 2012: Sure, until
- 0
-until the child asks :
Where did this something come from? Nothing? or was it really "just always here?"
If the string theory is taught as possibly developed and created from the Giver of MUSIC, musing=thinking, by thought(s) of a Designer, it is easy to follow ancient scientifically proven harmonies of all fo material existance to the harmony of the radio-frequency and sounds of the universe and light itself, by the Giver , the Light , the Love and Truth - a personal Creator.
Share amusement parks get us to playfully not think, as to Music and thoughtful harmonies are creatively thought in thinking.
Sep 7 2012: Children ask many many questions, for example the endless "Whys." and "How comes." I thought a proper introduction to particules and The String/M Theory would be exciting. To take them on a journey of knowledge and possibilities. Let them make their own discoveries through a loving tale and come away feeling entertained. There is a saying "Music say what our words cannot" JP Piert, thank you for your insightSep 7 2012: Yes, I think it can be done. It would just need to be really abstract and use a lot of analogies rather than using actual terms/definitions like quarks and electrons and bosons, perhaps.
Sep 7 2012: Hi James, Do you have any analogies in mind?
Sep 7 2012: Stuff like one of those "An electron walked into a bar..." jokes
A girl and boy : positive and negative
black hole : vacuum cleaner (well not quite)
fusion : two atoms smashing with each other : two kids running at each other as fast as they can and then become one being, I dunno lol
Ok, these analogies aren't that great, but I'm sure there are better analogies that can spark good ideas
Sep 7 2012: Yours sparks the imagination and had me laughing. Thank you James Zhang

National group hopes to save dog that killed baby
Henderson, NV (KTNV) -- The family dog that killed a 1-year-old last week is scheduled to be euthanized on Tuesday, but a national group is appealing to the City of Henderson to stop that from happening.
The group of animal activists calls the dog's attack a first-time offense, and says that as humans we should show forgiveness.
The family who buried their little boy on Thursday says they still love their pet, but have made the tough decision to put him down.
"As horribly, horribly tragic as it is, the dog was basically a good dog and deserves better," says Les Golden of the Lexus Project.
That group wants to save Onion the dog and pay to ship him to the Blue Lion Rescue Animal Sanctuary in Colorado to spend the rest of his days.
"They have a national reputation, particularly with large-breed dogs that are considered aggressive," says Golden. "It's not going to kill again. It will never be adopted. It will never be in the presence of another human being outside of the handler and the vet."
Action News spoke with the family and while they asked not to go on camera, they reiterate what was said after the deadly accident.
"The dog needs to be put down because he attacked a baby, but he was not a bad dog," said the boy's father, Chris Shahan.
Expressing their love for the pet, they hope it will help the family move on and bring peace to Onion who may never understand why his family never came for him again.
Community dog owners are on both sides of this campaign.
"If they can guarantee that the dog will never be next to any type of humans, let alone children, in the future, save the dog," says dog owner Michael Ciari.
"It's sad that the kid died, but they should just let the dog live and put it somewhere where it won't be near kids anymore," says another dog owner T.J. Cheng.
"We're talking about an animal here. We're not talking about a human being," says Brian Izuma. "For the family's wishes. If that's what they want, that's what should actually happen."
The Lexus Project worries the family is making a decision based on grief, and argues the decision is now up to city leaders since the dog was signed over to Henderson after the accident.
Onion is scheduled to be put down on Tuesday.

Comments On Jul 24, 2015:My Tech 7's wore quickly despite using this. I won't solely blame this product, but it seems that something less dry and perhaps more oily would penetrate and preserve stitching and leather better. I'm going to buy Gaernes or Sidis next and will probably try a different product on their leather/stitching.

Comments On Jan 28, 2013:The alpinestars boot paste applies nice, helps make/keep boot leather soft and supple and provides some increased water resistance. I only take 1 star away for the price, which I think should be less for the amount of cream received.

Comments On Nov 28, 2012:I love this stuff, have been using for years. Does it make your boots waterproof- no way. but it helps. gives the boot a new look and give more flexibility. The small puddles are no problem. But cross a river and no past will keep that out. I always have this in my bag.
