At first I am not one to truly care for politics let alone religion, so when I saw “The
Most Influential People That Ever Lived” I automatically was expecting a list of
religious and political figures, last thing I was expecting was scientists. So to see
Newton second was interesting. So after reading why Hart placed his first three on
his list it really opened my eyes and I understand why. Muhammad essentially
created a religion and gained followers and helped Arabia expand. Where as
Newton was scientist who made major breakthroughs in science, math and physics
that helped shape what we know about it all today. Newton invented integral
calculus in just his mid twenties, which without would have made modern science
today impossible. Newton laid the foundation for the scientific theory, which
ultimately changed the world all together. Without Newton who knows how long it
would be until we made his discoveries where as with Jesus Christ, Christianity
was established before he was born and would have proceeded with or without
him. So I agree with Hart’s placement of Newton, overall a brilliant man and
without him we would not have nearly any of the things we take for granted
everytday.
