Sir Isaac Newton personally considered himself a theologian and spent a much larger amount of his time studying scripture. One book, discusses the huge religious library he owned and how much time he spent studying religious texts and biblical history.

“There are more sure proofs of authenticity in the Bible than in any secular history. All my discoveries have been made in answer to prayer. I can take my telescope and look millions of miles into space; but I can go away to my room and in prayer get nearer to God and Heaven than I can when assisted by all the telescopes of Earth!”
-Isaac Newton (1642-1727)

2. Louis Pasteur. (1822 – 1895) Contributed greatly towards the advancement of medical sciences developing cures for rabies, anthrax and other infectious diseases. Also enabled process of pasteurisation to make milk safer to drink. Probably saved more lives than any other person.

And they say that now in Paris, France, even as we speak..Louis Pasteur has devised a new vaccine that will obliterate anthrax once and for all.

...Think of it, gentlemen. Hoof-and-Mouth disease a thing of the past!

Never mind that S—t, here comes Mongo!

How many liberal climate scientists with leaked Emails of their falsifying data regarding their research on that list?

They are on the same list as Ptolemy. They used their CO2 theory to support precession.

Five main points of Dalton's atomic theory Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms. Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties. Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed. Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds. In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged.Various atoms and molecules as depicted in John Dalton's A New System of Chemical Philosophy (1808)

Sorry, I tried a new way of posting and it did not post as I thought I had it arranged. The bottom line is that John Dalton had Mendeleev beat by almost 60 years withe his table of elements. It was very primitive but useful. Dalton is regarded as the father of “modern” atomic theory and did his work in the first decade of the nineteenth century.

The posting went fine, and thanks for doing it. Dalton probably should have a place in this list as well. I might quibble at the usefulness of his table compared to Mendeleev’s inasmuch as the latter’s is still in use pretty much as the author had designed it, but the facts are clear.

No question Meitner instead of Hahn. She was the physicist and he was the chemist. Hahn, despite being under the Nazis and she Jewish, sent her the results of tests done after she fled to Scandinavia. She had her Eureka moment there.
Also Niels Bohr deserves to be on the last.
And what about Giordano Bruno?
