First you have to establish what criteria to apply. I guess most people will agree that a person is important if he had a positive impact on the life of many others. Probably, saving lives or improving them considerable is a consensual criteria.

So, negative people, like conquerors, war mongers, and others, must be excluded. Even important people like Columbus, should be excluded, since its discoveries provoked millions of deaths on indigenous people between wars and diseases.

I prefer also to leave aside religious people, since they are controversial. Many had an important positive impact, but some were also cause of wars, executions, repressions, terrorism, etc. (I know, excluding religious people is very controversial also).

Also people of great intellectual impact must also be excluded if their thoughts didn't cause a direct practical improvement on the life of others (so forget about Einstein, Darwin, Plato, Aristotle, etc.; and even Newton or Galileo).

I also think artists didn't improve life enough (they shore help a lot, but...), so forget about Mozart, Beethoven, the Beatles or even Da Vinci.

My guy: Alexander Fleming (he doesn't even is on the 100 Time list: http://ideas.time.com/2013/12/10/whos-biggest-the-100-most-significant-figures-in-history/).

You don't have a clue what he did... Google is your friend.

i would say my parents, because the people in the poll did nothing for me 

However you can't choose one sigle person for all fields, and those 5 choiches are too few

Abraham Lincoln has less than 6 votes and is Eliminated.

What do you mean that they did not do anything for you? They are the reason why our society is like what is is today, Christ influence created whole Western Civilization. His teachings are fundamental for our society. Of course Jesus can't give you food or shelter you but his existence had great impact on everyone living now.

Jesus Christ is the most important among them.

Jesus Christ is the most important person ever. He created Heaven and Earth and He died on the cross to forgive our sins.

Contrary to others, I have no doubt that Jesus is a historical figure (there are enough historical documents about him). But seeing him as human and God is basically a decision of Constantine. Since all roman emperors were considerer divine, Jesus couldn't be less than that. But even in the Gospel of John there is no clear trace of his divine nature.

yeah you are right God is great we can't compare God with human beings ! why satoshi nakamoto in this poll!

[dogechode]

so basically it's now down to a popularity contest between the Christians, the Muslims, the scientists, and the bitcoin/libertarian fanatics. Wonderful.

I pick #10 like most mentioned, Satoshi.

Without this dude, the world wouldnt know what to do with the US money system..

The most important person ever is the one who does all the work in the background while somebody else gets all the spotlight. Think of the Linus Torvalds of the world -- a lot of people have never heard of him, but you might know about Linux.

Commander Shepard , he saved us and the galaxy from the reapers attack.

If we are here maybe we can include Frodo Baggins and Harry Potter in that poll? They are a heroes after all. They saved all humanity as well.

I think historically the most important person is Jesus Christ, there are still thousands of churchs and millions of believers around the world, even after 2,000 years. If we had can count the times the word Jesus is said every day you would be sure whos the most important person of that pool, i dont think after 2,000 years the people will even remember albert einstein or satoshi, in fact satoshi should have been eliminated already, many people know about bitcoin but almost nobody knows the "history" about satoshi nakamoto.

[estong]

God is the most important person ever. He created heaven and earth and all the living things in the universe. He is such a wonderful God he died on the cross to forgive our sins.

[Mike Christ]

This thread reeks of lamb.

[sj2199]

Every person is important in some way or another...
so i cannot vote a single person, for me all of them are equally important....

[bitmaster111]

It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life. so my dad is most important person in my life.

Nikola Tesla, there wouldn`t be bitcoin if he hadn`t invented electricity.
