Who do you think is the most important person in history?

Question

Bored on vacation here in England and started thinking about random questions. The best one I could come up with was, in your opinion, who do you think the most important person living or who has lived is/was? Whether it be whoever invented the lightbulb, stepped on the moon first, or anything at all. Curious to hear your opinions! Cheers mates

Answer 1

Issac Newton, for discovering the most important laws in both mathematics and physics.  He took us from ignorance to knowledge like no other.  

Answer 2

Norman Bourlag.

- Created genetically modified crops and credited with saving perhaps a billion lives. Not interested in fame or mass appeal.  

Answer 3

This is one of those wonderful questions that has no answer.

Who was the greatest composer? or novelist? or scientist?

Answer 4

I don't think it's possible to name one single important person in history because history has a lot to do with the reactions of people to events.  If I were asked who was the most influential person in history, it would have to be Jesus Christ, because he became the foundation for the most popular religion in the world as well as the source of a lot of controversy, world wars, etc.

Answer 5

Ghengis Khan, 1st emperor of China, Alexander the Great, Timulane
