Darwin is the greatest scientist of all time!!!

There is no "greatest scientist of all time."

You can't single out one individual and rank them above all the others because they all contribute.

darwin didnt help medical science........

To me all of them are pretty much the same.

That's not true at all.

Actually, the contribution made by the theory of evolution is probably one of the most important parts of modern medicine. :P

If it weren't for physics, we wouldn't have the technology for medical advancements.

I like Socrates.

And my favorite founding father.

When he stood up to King George and signed the declaration... I mean wow, that took guts. But when he led the US military to victory against France in the revolutionary war, now that was genius.

I do agree with this, though, the statement that physics has made its contribution - anything from chemotherapy to x-ray imaging would be impossible without modern physics, and all of those things, too, are fundamental parts of modern medicine.

[QUOTE="D_Battery"][QUOTE="fidosim"] He turned water into wine, walked on water, and made a storm go away with a wave of his hand. The laws of physics and nature have nothing on Jesus.fidosim

Chris angel is a better magician than Jesus.

The tricks that Jesus did had already been done before by Dionysus.

[QUOTE="fidosim"][QUOTE="D_Battery"] I don't think that constitutes scientific inquiry. A magician maybe, not a scientist.Meejoe27

[QUOTE="fidosim"] A magician is an illusionist. Jesus actually changed the molecular makeup of water, turning it into wine. He didn't bother doing a writeup on his results because nobody at the time would have understood his genius.fidosim

That's funny, cause Jesus is at my house right now and he says he's never even met you.

[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="Anonymous_2"]Well you could say that he didnt intend to help medical science but that doesnt matter since it is his theory which has shaped the very face of modern medical science. We never really know anybody's intentions so we cant judge on that.

You could say he is better, it doesnt really matter. My main point is that biologists>>>physicists.:)

Jesus says you are being rediculous, he only knows "Mormons and some of those west coast hippie bastards." whatever that means...

But to be honest he is quite drunk, and its hard to take him seriously right now.

Damnit, he looks like hes about to puke, brb.

Yeah... except the problem is, most of those scientists ideas have been proven either wrong or not as accurate as they could be. Some of their ideas and discoveries have become scientific "laws," but for the most part, their ideas lacked something that only a new scientist that came along later down the line and fixed.

Darwin didn't understand how natural selection worked, he just knew it did. Newton didn't know how gravity worked (and we still don't) but he knew it did. Einstein didn't want to accept quantum mechanics, but physics can't do without it now.

Science is always improving. There can never be a "greatest scientist of all time!"

There is no such thing as the 'greatest scientist of all time'

That depends on your criteria; also, given your assessment of harm, consider that biological weapons present a far greater risk to life on earth than nuclear weapons ever have.xaos

For real?

Because, let's just suppose that for some reason we want to wipe out as much life on Earth as possible.

Nuclear weapons won't kill everything, but we could kill a lot more stuff just by launching more nuclear weapons. If we REALLY tried, we could scorch every single square inch of ground, cause a pretty extreme "nuclear winter", and kill a hell of a lot of all life on the planet.

That's if we REALLY tried, and there was an international efort to destroy all life on Earth. Still wouldn't wipe out all life on Earth, but the result would probably be impressive enough to be noteworthy.

But what biological weapons do we have that can compete with the sheer force of Blowing Everything Up? Hell, even if we were to engineer a virus designed to **** up as much stuff as possible, how likely are wew to make that virus deadly to EVERYTHING on the planet, with a 100% fatality rate for all the species that are affected?

I don't think that biological weapons would work either. I think that it'd be better to just Blow Everything Up. Of course, Blowing Everything Up wouldn't eradicate life on Earth either, but I'll bet it would be far easier, and would kill more life.

Of course calling a scientist the "greatest ever" is kind of dubious because every scientist builds on previous scientists' work. But Newton deserves more credits. He invented calculus, and set all the rules for modern day physics. Every person on this earth studying to be an engineer starts with the laws of physics defined by isaac newton, and the rest of the study is built on that.

I dont understand why physicists like newton or albert einstien are given more praise cuz physics dont help humanity as much as biology. Advancement in physics only gives us more luxuries and comfort but it doesnt really do anything about misery which medical science trys to help of whom darwin is the father.

It is becasue of people like newton and einstien that we have such deadly weapon science today which is by far the worst product of human advancement. Biology perhaps helps in making some poisionous things but that's about it really.

I don't know what to say..

Physics isn't a science based purely about making weapons of mass destruction, and biology isn't a science based about making pretty plants. Both have their flaws and both have improved society in unimaginable ways.
