Yes, National Geographic, Eden was a Real Place

Published

on

In an article published in National Geographic on September 19, Candida Moss explores the question of whether the Garden of Eden really existed, and naturally, most modern-day archeologists believe the entire biblical story of creation is simply a myth with no grounding in actual history.  The Urantia Corps for Spiritual Progress (UCSP) is taking this opportunity to point out that, as part of the Urantia Book’s mission to fill in the gaps of our knowledge of our past, it absolutely confirms the existence of the Garden of Eden and gives great detail as to its original whereabouts—”a long narrow peninsula—almost an island—projecting westward from the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea.”

“The coast line of this land mass was considerably elevated, and the neck connecting with the mainland was only twenty-seven miles wide at the narrowest point. The great river that watered the Garden came down from the higher lands of the peninsula and flowed east through the peninsular neck to the mainland and thence across the lowlands of Mesopotamia to the sea beyond. It was fed by four tributaries which took origin in the coastal hills of the Edenic peninsula, and these are the “four heads” of the river which “went out of Eden,” and which later became confused with the branches of the rivers surrounding the second garden.” (73:3.4 (823.4))

“After the first garden was vacated by Adam, it was occupied variously by the Nodites, Cutites, and the Suntites. It later became the dwelling place of the northern Nodites who opposed co-operation with the Adamites. The peninsula had been overrun by these lower-grade Nodites for almost four thousand years after Adam left the Garden when, in connection with the violent activity of the surrounding volcanoes and the submergence of the Sicilian land bridge to Africa, the eastern floor of the Mediterranean Sea sank, carrying down beneath the waters the whole of the Edenic peninsula. Concomitant with this vast submergence the coast line of the eastern Mediterranean was greatly elevated. And this was the end of the most beautiful natural creation that Urantia has ever harbored. The sinking was not sudden, several hundred years being required completely to submerge the entire peninsula.” (73:7.1 (826.6))

“In the last few months, a find which seems to show architectural modification on a ridge resting on the floor of the Mediterranean Sea has been found which may well be the original Garden of Eden,” said UCSP founder, Rebecca Bynum. “The Latakia Ridge certainly shows some anomalies which warrant further investigation:”

  1. Razor-flat rectangular platform with sharp edges, highly inconsistent with natural uplift or erosion.
  2. Elevated meandering channel crossing the summit, resembling an aqueduct or ridge-cut fluvial system.
  3. Encircling moat-like depression, following the platform’s outer boundaries.
  4. Perimeter berm or collapse margin, possibly structural.
  5. Long straight-line ridges and trenches, extending with minimal curvature.
  6. Multiple 90° intersections, including perpendicular canals and summit edges.
  7. Cardinal alignment, with major features running N–S and E–W.
  8. Perpendicular intersecting canal of consistent width and depth.
  9. Nearby dome-like uplifts, suggestive of buried foundations or ring structures.
  10. Terraced slopes, potentially indicating former shorelines or platform leveling.
  11. Geological isolation, with differing subsurface composition from the surrounding seabed.
  12. Location within a tectonic convergence zone, adding complexity to formation hypotheses.

 

“Contrary to the hopes of many, even if archeological investigation were to discover artifacts of the right time period (35,000 B.C.), this would still not ‘prove’ that this was the Garden,” continued Bynum. “Nor would it ‘prove’ the truth of the Urantia Book as a whole, but it would add another amazing instance of the incredible detail contained in the Urantia Book (pub. 1955) being prescient about scientific facts not known at the time of publication.”

The Urantia Book explains how our world has received several instances of divine assistance, and that the mission of Adam and Eve were one of those which went awry, but nonetheless, they left an undeniable mark upon humanity which allowed for the blossoming of civilization.

In 2005, Dr. Patrick Evans, et al, published their discovery of a genetic mutation, Microcephalin (MCPH1), which occurred approximately 37,000 years ago, which influences the structure and size of the brain. This mutation spread rapidly and is now found among some seventy percent of the global population. This tracks well with the history presented in the Urantia Book.

As author JJ Johnson writes: “The cosmic reality of Adam and Eve’s mission highlights humanity’s potential as an ongoing project, an unrevealed destiny, a promise that humanity may yet fulfill. This requires an open-minded integration of scientific insights about human origins, biology, and potential with spiritual revelations about purpose and destiny. Taking off the blinders means setting aside rigid interpretations and allowing science and religion to complement each other—each offering unique insights into the unified truth of human existence and cosmic destiny.”[1]

Local dog hygiene center highlights seasonal shedding, coat maintenance, nail care and routine grooming as autumn weather arrives.

Scenthound Bountiful, a dog hygiene and wellness center owned by Mike Solosko, is highlighting the importance of regular grooming as pet owners prepare their dogs for changing autumn conditions. The center, located at 2196 S. Orchard Drive, Suite 65, provides routine hygiene and coat care services for dogs in Bountiful and surrounding communities, including North Salt Lake. As trusted dog groomers Bountiful pet owners can turn to for routine hygiene, the center focuses on helping dogs stay clean and comfortable throughout the year.

As temperatures change and seasonal shedding increases in some breeds, regular grooming can help pet owners manage loose hair, prevent matting and identify changes in their dogs’ skin and coats.

The American Kennel Club notes that many dogs experience increased shedding during spring and fall, although shedding patterns vary according to breed, coat type and environmental conditions.

Addressing Seasonal Shedding and Coat Maintenance

During autumn, some dogs shed portions of their lighter coats as their bodies adjust to seasonal changes. Dogs with thicker or double-layered coats may require additional brushing to remove loose undercoat and prevent tangling.

Scenthound Bountiful offers shedding treatments designed to remove loose hair and support routine coat maintenance. The center also provides bathing and brush-out services that can be selected according to each dog’s grooming requirements.

Regular brushing can help distribute natural oils throughout the coat while removing dirt, debris and loose hair. Grooming frequency varies, and dogs with longer or denser coats may need more frequent attention during periods of heavier shedding.

Supporting Routine Hygiene During Autumn

Seasonal conditions can introduce additional grooming considerations. Outdoor walks may expose dogs to wet leaves, mud and other debris that can collect in their fur or between paw pads.

Dogs may also experience skin dryness or irritation for various reasons, making regular observation of their skin and coat an important part of routine care.

Scenthound focuses on five core areas of canine hygiene: skin, coat, ears, nails and teeth.

Its basic hygiene services include bathing, ear cleaning, nail trimming and teeth brushing. Additional grooming and coat treatments are available according to individual needs. For pet owners searching for dog barbers Bountiful, the center provides routine hygiene and coat-care services tailored to individual dogs.

The center encourages owners to pay attention to changes in their dogs’ coats, excessive scratching, unusual shedding and other visible concerns. Persistent skin irritation, abnormal hair loss or suspected infections should be evaluated by a veterinarian.

Encouraging Consistent Grooming Habits

“Fall is a great time to start a regular grooming routine. Our Bountiful team loves helping local dogs feel clean and comfortable, and we welcome pet parents from North Salt Lake City, too,” said Mike Solosko, owner of Scenthound Bountiful.

The center emphasizes consistency in routine hygiene rather than relying exclusively on occasional grooming appointments.

For dogs with longer coats, regular brushing can help reduce tangles and matting. Nail trimming is another important consideration, as overgrown nails may affect comfort and mobility.

Individual grooming schedules should account for breed characteristics, coat length, activity level and specific hygiene needs.

Serving Bountiful and Nearby Communities

Scenthound Bountiful provides routine dog hygiene services to pet owners throughout the surrounding area, including North Salt Lake.

Its services include bathing, shedding treatments, nail care, ear cleaning, teeth brushing and additional coat-maintenance options. The business also offers monthly hygiene memberships for owners seeking recurring care.

Pet owners can obtain information about the center’s services and appointment options through its official website.

CZUR, a technology company specializing in smart office solutions, has announced the launch of its dedicated StarryHub website, providing a central resource for businesses exploring its meeting-room collaboration technology.

Addressing Common Meeting-Room Challenges

As organizations continue to support in-person and remote collaboration, meeting-room technology often involves multiple devices, complicated connections, and varying audio and video requirements.

Traditional setups may require separate cameras, microphones, speakers, computers, and display equipment, creating additional installation and management considerations for IT teams.

The StarryHub Core Series addresses these challenges by combining essential conferencing components into a single meeting hub. Designed to connect with an existing HDMI-compatible television, monitor, or projector, the system allows businesses to upgrade their meeting rooms without necessarily replacing their current display equipment.

Introducing the StarryHub Core Series

The StarryHub Core Series integrates video conferencing cameras, microphones, speakers, wireless screen sharing, and meeting software into compact meeting-room devices.

Powered by the built-in StarryOS 6.0 operating system, the hubs support conferencing applications including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. Users can launch and manage supported meetings directly through the device or connect their computers when needed.

The series offers two primary operating modes:

Host Mode: Enables users to conduct meetings through the hub’s built-in operating system without requiring a dedicated computer. This approach can simplify routine conferencing and reduce dependence on separate room PCs.

Bring Your Own Meeting (BYOM) Mode: Allows participants to connect a compatible laptop and use the hub’s conferencing peripherals with their preferred meeting software. This provides flexibility for organizations using different collaboration platforms.

Both modes require an external HDMI-compatible display to present meeting content to participants.

The Core Series includes three models designed for different meeting environments:

StarryHub Core20 : For Small Meeting Rooms

Designed for huddle spaces and smaller teams, Core20 combines a 4K wide-angle camera, 360-degree audio pickup, wireless screen sharing, and built-in conferencing capabilities. It provides a compact option for businesses seeking to introduce hybrid meeting functionality into smaller spaces.

StarryHub Core30: For Medium-Sized Conference Rooms

Core30 adds a dual-camera system featuring wide-angle and telephoto views, alongside AI-assisted speaker tracking and extended audio pickup. Its wireless casting and dual-display capabilities support presentations and collaboration in standard conference rooms.

StarryHub Core50: For Larger Meeting Rooms and Boardrooms

Core50 is designed for larger meeting environments requiring more advanced collaboration controls. It features dual 4K cameras, extended audio coverage, and an integrated touchscreen for meeting management, whiteboarding, and annotation. The touchscreen functions as a control and collaboration interface, while external HDMI displays present meeting content.

Across the series, features such as AI-assisted framing, noise reduction, and wireless content sharing aim to improve meeting accessibility and reduce setup complexity.starryhub.czur.com

CZUR’s approach to meeting-room technology emphasizes simplicity, flexibility, and the ability to work with existing office infrastructure.

Kang Zhou, Founder and CEO of CZUR, has previously emphasized the company’s vision of using artificial intelligence and integrated hardware and software to simplify workplace technology.

This philosophy is reflected in the StarryHub Core Series, which aims to make advanced conferencing capabilities more accessible while minimizing unnecessary equipment and complex installation requirements.

By offering different models and operating modes, CZUR seeks to accommodate the evolving collaboration needs of businesses and organizations.

Hire Virtue Introduces Adult Literacy and Employment Readiness Initiative

The Woodlands, TXThe Light & Literacy Bridge by Leslea Scott would help Texas adults strengthen reading skills and prepare for meaningful work.

The Light & Literacy Bridge by Leslea Scott would help Texas adults strengthen reading skills and prepare for meaningful work.

Hire Virtue LLC is introducing the concept for The Light & Literacy Bridge by Leslea Scott, a proposed adult literacy and employment readiness initiative that the firm intends to sponsor. The initiative would support Texas adults seeking greater confidence in reading, writing, everyday communication, and the practical skills involved in finding and navigating employment.

Engineered by Leslea Scott, President & Chief Talent Officer of Hire Virtue LLC, the concept connects adult literacy instruction with useful workplace and job search activities. The proposed program would help participants understand job postings, complete applications, organize their work history, prepare for interviews, use basic digital tools, and interpret workplace information.

L. Scott Headshot 1 9.2.26 Hire Virtue Introduces Adult Literacy and Employment Readiness Initiative

The initial program design calls for a small, 12-week pilot combining instruction from a qualified adult literacy educator with guided practice and career preparation. Individual learning goals would recognize each participant’s existing strengths, experience, and priorities. Hire Virtue’s proposed contribution includes career guidance, recruiting expertise, and community and employer relationship development.

The Light & Literacy Bridge is grounded in the belief that adults deserve learning opportunities that preserve their dignity and recognize their potential. Its faith-rooted purpose would be expressed through compassionate service and respect, with participation open regardless of religious affiliation. The program’s guiding message is “Elevating confident readers, one human, and one word at a time.”

The initiative remains in the planning stage. Its operating structure, initial service location, funding commitments, instructional team, enrollment process, and launch date have not been finalized. The announcement introduces the idea and invites conversations with adult literacy educators, community organizations, potential host sites, and employers interested in contributing to its development.

Organizations and individuals interested in discussing the proposed initiative may contact our Press Manager at [email protected].
