They both had a profound effect on the world.
Darwin was also very anti-slavery and wrote scathingly of it whenever he had the opportunity.
As for st. Darwin, no thank you. The man is much more interesting with his flaws than held on a pedestal.

Which one?angellous said:
The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms was a particularly ground breaking work. If not for it, then gardening would be far more difficult. He was the one that showed that worms aerate and fertilize the soil. Prior to that people didn't like worms in the garden, they thought they would eat the roots.
Funny how no one argues about that one.
He published a great many works on nature and natural history. Most of which are landmarks of scientific thought. He discovered barnacles are crustaceans (barnacles are very weird critters).
His work with orchids is second to none. He was also one of the first experts on South American fossil species.
