It's really no contest:
Aristotle (Greek: ΑÏιστοτÎλης AristotelÄ“s; 384 BC – March 7, 322 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher, student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote many books about physics, poetry, zoology, logic, rhetoric, government, and biology.
Aristotle, along with Plato and Socrates, are generally considered as the three most influential ancient Greek philosophers in Western thought. Among them they transformed Presocratic Greek philosophy into the foundations of Western philosophy as we know it. The writings of Plato and Aristotle form the core of Ancient philosophy.
Aristotle placed much more value on knowledge gained from the senses and would correspondingly be better classed among modern empiricists (see materialism and empiricism). He also achieved a "grounding" of dialectic in the Topics by allowing interlocutors to begin from commonly held beliefs (Endoxa); his goal being non-contradiction rather than Truth. He set the stage for what would eventually develop into the scientific method centuries later. Although he wrote dialogues early in his career, no more than fragments of these have survived. The works of Aristotle that still exist today are in treatise form and were, for the most part, unpublished texts. These were probably lecture notes or texts used by his students, and were almost certainly revised repeatedly over the course of years. As a result, these works tend to be eclectic, dense and difficult to read. Among the most important ones are Physics, Metaphysics, Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, De Anima (On the Soul) and Poetics. Their works, although connected in many fundamental ways, are very different in both style and substance.
Aristotle is known for being one of the few figures in history who studied almost every subject possible at the time. In science, Aristotle studied anatomy, astronomy, embryology, geography, geology, meteorology, physics, and zoology. In philosophy, Aristotle wrote on aesthetics, economics, ethics, government, metaphysics, politics, psychology, rhetoric and theology. He also dealt with education, foreign customs, literature and poetry. His combined works practically comprise an encyclopedia of Greek knowledge.

Again... look at all the Greek words in our language. It's mainly his fault.
Who was the first person to codify the very idea of a "science" and an analysis of scientific statements (in the Posterior Analytics. It's him.Only feebs vote.Comment

I know enough about Artistotle to know he tried to study everything he could, was wrong most of the time, and was vaguely correct in others. He's the classic Philosopher who tries to study everything from a high level, and is wrong most of the time accordingly."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

I push the tools that are best, sometimes it's MS, sometimes its not. For the intellectually challenged people among us who can't construct real arguments, they resort to the words "fanboy" and now "MS pusher" instead of having the balls to discuss what is at hand. You got your ass handed to you in the debate and you're still smarting from it now.Originally posted by BlackCat

I think we can all agree that BlackCat certainly does not qualify for the greatest genius on this planet, at the very least.
I don't understand if the above was an attempt at humour or as a troll, in either case it has the sophistication of a 3rd grader."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
