It is a difficult choice to qualify these thinkers as more or less significant than any other.

Each has their own contribution without any of which we would not be where we are today in any sense of the word.

The reason I chose Charles Darwin is unfolding in the present moment of our Western Civilization--the entire world. Acceptance of his ideas at some level is facilitating more and more openness in scientific inquiry. Once society makes the critical choices, it seems to me that the flood gates of scientific discovery will open major doors into the future for humanity.
