Charles Darwin the Origin of Species voted most influential academic book in history

I get the feeling that the book order was designed not as what was most important, but a combination of importance and reading level required. That's why Newton wasn't first choice. And why Stephen Hawking was on the list. Most likely because of the ease/non-ease to read them.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
