Sometimes they succeed. Often they fail to reap the levels of respect, honor, support and/or pleasure which they envisioned. Why so? 1. Often humans fail to respect the reliable laws and theories of physics which reliably describe how processes and events unfold within the cosmos; e.g., the laws and theories of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, Plank, Schroedinger, Dirac, Hawkins, etc. (Physicists theories are thoroughly tested, proven, substantiated and integrated hypotheses.) 2. Often humans fail to show respect for how much must be sacrificed in human, natural, and environmental resources to accomplish that which they: envision, dream, fantasize and desire; e.g., creativity, honesty, time, integrity, intimacy, money, order, energy, minerals, purity, water, air, etc. --- perhaps expecting to be able to sacrifice more of them than is available for human sacrifice! 3. Humans often fail to acknowledge their inability to reliably understand, plan, engineer, coordinate, manage and control systems of unimaginable complexity --- especially those processes which entail the participation of many diverse human beings with diverse and often contradictory conceptions of their proper roles in the whole complex process. 4. The inability of religious leaders WITHIN splinter groups WITHIN the major religions traditions --- to agree with each other on what are the essential foundations for both personal and communal integrity --- is an indication of the major dilemmas facing any effort to facilitate world-wide cooperation on any global venture which will tax the resources of Space-Ship-Earth; e.g., interstellar space travel and the growing energy crisis and population explosion. 5. The inability of religious leaders WITHIN splinter groups WITHIN the major religions traditions --- to agree on guidelines/boundaries for expressions of human sexual desires, relationships and pleasures --- is another related indication of the major dilemmas facing any effort to achieve world-wide cooperation in any global venture which will require high levels of openness and honesty about: sexuality, birth, adolescence, bonding, reproduction, child-rearing, aging, decline, death, and ALL the dilemmas related to human sexuality. The more successful humans are in the development of fast international travel, communication, trade, and disease transmission --- the more important will be the kinds of cooperative global ventures which are mentioned above --- and the more important will be the transcendence of human arrogance. It is the splinter groups within the major religious traditions which are presumably most homogeneous and well positioned to agree on controversial issues. If such homogeneous religious groups cannot agree on controversial issues --- what hope is there for larger and less homogeneous religious groups to agree on those controversial issues?
