Another list compiled by people who have their own agenda regarding
those on it - and provide NO support for who they include or do not
include. Nor do they provide the names and qualifications of the people
who decided who is on the list - or the methods and requirements of this
list.

ANd based on the Darwin exclusion - the religious affiliation of those
people as well.

So - this is just another piece of nonsense

They should not have omitted Al E. Crocodile off the list. He invented
dirt as a food source.

Given that Ed Conrad and Lin Liangtai were put on the list, I think
it's rather obvious that it was Ed Conrad who took an existing list of
the world's 50 greatest scientists and amended it.

Well, the subject line alone tells you that the criteria are going to be
profoundly subjective. I'm not so interested in whether a scientist is
"great" as whether he/she discovers something that somehow makes my life
easier.

Almost agree - there are still some things that are worth the effort
even if they cannot be called easy. (Maria was one of those)

So Einstein must be at the bottom of your list then?
