Abraham Lincoln vs. Charles Darwin: Who Was More Important?
Born on the same day, of the same year, on February 12, 1809, two great men joined our world. Charles Darwin, known for his theory of evolution, and possibly re-defining biological science, has made a great impact on how many perceive how us humans came to be here. Abraham Lincoln, "Honest Abe", the 16th president of the United States, led the country though the civil war, and was an outspoken opponent of slavery in the United States. Throughout each of their lifetimes, they have made a "lifetime" of difference... but who should be considered more important?

Answered Charles Darwin
This is a very hard question to answer. Because if we are talking just about the US then Lincoln would be more important. but if we are talking about the world. Charles Darwin is more important
so, for this one, i will say Darwin, because he made more of a global impact -

both were great contributors but Lincoln fought for and was himself a model of evolutionary changes in his early rooted aspirations to become , and with his principles even to the ultimate sacrifice he paid for standing firm for his beliefs. -

He made the world re think life. Honest Abe was about as honest as a con man could be. He was not always outspoken against slaves until he started to lose the war he started by invading soverign states with no legal basis, and usurping the US Constitution entirely. If you want to know a real man read about Jefferson Davis my expresident Lincoln never considered one of my Presidents. -
raves +1 Jul 08, 2008 10:55PM GMT (edited)excellent! The government ran schools won't teach the real history of the tyrant known as honest Abe....great comment Patrick. Abraham Lincoln did not abolish slavery. He had no Constitutional jurisdiction with which to prevent the lawful secession of eleven U.S. States. He was a puppet of "big rail," the prevailing corporate interests of his day.
Abraham Lincoln was perhaps the worst President in the history of the United States of America.
I'm more partial to Thomas Jefferson -
Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories. - Thomas Jefferson -

Being a president Lincoln would be most important. However, Lincoln shredded the constitution by starting the so-called civil war. Which had nothing to do with slavery. Constitution allows states to succeed from the union. Especially is said state or states are being screwed over by the central or federal government. This is why the states that became the confederacy succeeded,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, -

Duh. Darwin developed a THEORY that may or may NOT be true.
Lincoln held the country together through some of the most turbulent
times any of us could imagine. I fully believe that without Lincoln,
the U.S. would not exist now and therefore, Kaiser Germany may be
ruling the world or maybe Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. -

Answered Abe Lincoln
Because he did something a bit more tangible. Darwin just observed finches, someone else came up with the theory of evolution.
