I have been hoping to write a comprehensive treatise (longer than an essay, and I like the word) on the harmonious relationship that scientific discovery and Christian theology historically share. I would set out clearly the divergence that science, or many of the scientific mind, has taken away from the very foundation of scientific inquiry, once firmly rooted in Christianity, and toward an inimical dichotomy that has become permanent lore in this modern age.
I would laud history's greatest scientific minds and the free societies of western civilization which reflected a deep faith in an intelligent creator, and decry erroneous doctrines of relativism, humanism and, particularly, social-Darwinism.
In an effort to clarify the dangerous ideologies of the left in our society today which relate to 'secular scientism'; socialism, radical environmentalism and the attack on free speech, free association, and capitalism, I would employ discouraging statistics which reflect the human toll of its raw power politics, and reveal an ignorance of science as a magnanimous application for the betterment of mankind.
... but alas... it has been done.
