It is hard not to see a message in all this. Because the vast majority of AIDS sufferers contact the disease through abuse of their own bodies (promiscuous sexual activity and drug abuse), the message seems to be clear: STOP ABUSING YOUR BODIES. The connection is not unlike that between heavy smoking and lung cancer or alcoholism and cirrhosis (liver disease). Avoiding temptation isn’t always easy, but with God nothing is impossible. We respect our body as a gift from God. We aim for a healthy lifestyle in order to better serve Him in this life before entering the life beyond where there surely will be no AIDS or any other disease.

Sagan did write, "I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking. Sagan acknowledged the prayers spoken in his behalf during his illness, but he said it wasn’t a problem for him to face death without the certainty of an afterlife. One thing is certain. Even if he didn’t experience a deathbed conversion, Carl Sagan now knows there is a Creator God."

Because liberal religious people have been such important allies in scienc's struggle against creationism, groups such as the National Academy of Sciences state that religion and science are not in conflict.
