		In the statues that represent Atlas, the big round thing on his back represents the heavens, which, because of the apparent circular motion of the planets around the earth, were conceived of as being round.
		Some tellings of the Atlas myth have him carrying both the earth and the heavens on his back, but this appears to be a modern retelling; further research might confirm this.
		It is, however, worth noting that in Atlas Shrugged, there are no characters with creative ability which do not function as author surrogate characters (most notably Dagny Taggart); conversely, all of the characters which disagree with the author are unintelligent and creatively bankrupt, and usually actively destructive.

		Since the other things are things of value - houses, roads, etc. - it is ironic that only the church was built to last; to Rand and her heroes, a church is of no real value.

	A Philosophy for Living on Earth
		For example, as noted above, Rand held that "man's survival as man" is the standard of value in ethics, by which she meant "the terms, methods, conditions and goals required for the survival of a rational being through the whole of his lifespan".
		Similarly, David Kelley notes about Rand's The Fountainhead that the three values celebrated therein through the moral ideal of Howard Roark are independence of mind, egoism with regard to one's values, and the creation of value in one's work, which together result in an intense passion for, and joy in, life (Kelley 1993b).
		Eric Mack, for instance, notes that Rand was loath to sanction pleasure as a value because to do so "would be to claim that people should be motivated by the desire for pleasure and happiness and that this commends a fruitless hedonism" (Mack 1984, 136).
