They also completely altered the course of Chinese, well, everything.Alfred said:So how did they influence the nowadays? Except for Moskau, of course.doorknobdeity said:Genghis Khan-- the Mongol Empire covered a huge area, influenced even more areas, and changed things dramatically for most of the area it covered.

2)Whichever of the fisrt monkey people decided to group together instead of running away when attacked

Cirdan said:Yeah, but it wasn't as popular as rock and roll and rather more frowned upon by your conservative granny. Guess why?
The only reason Elvis released any records at all was because the music industry was looking for a white man who could sing and dance like a black man. Elvis was the first they found, so he got catapulted to stardom.

Seriously- he accomplished some absurdly big advances in the fields of chemistry, medicine, and biology.
Much more so than Darwin, who's theory of evolution was a logical progression that was being written about by another at the same time.

Darwins theory had far reaching consequences across the entire field of science and philosophy though, Pasteur didn't.
No, but it was his theory that was adopted. I'd argue that in the present his theory has affected everything from archeology to astrophysics, genetics to geology. It's contribution to medicine alone are probably as important as Pasteur - without Darwin, you can say goodbye to our understanding of genetics, even germ theory itself utilises some of the core concepts of evolution.sum1won said:I can't say that I agree entirely. While Darwin's theory had far reaching consequences in the sciences and philosophy, he wasn't the only one of his time coming up with that theory (see Alferd Russel Wallace).

Show one shred of evidence for his existence which doesn't depend on books written by 'God'Zalson said:I hope you (or Naridill) weren't being serious about Jesus not existing. That's probably the silliest thing I've read all day.
Naridill said:Nemesis said:1. God
2. Jesus
3. Satan
No idea about the rest, don't feel like coming up with anything, but I'm pretty sure that those I mentioned have been very influential.
