The best scientist (biology being his specialty) ever to exist. He's been dead for approximately a century and a half but manages to upset extremist, ignorant religious fanatics on a daily basis. Aside from Watson and Crick's DNA discovery and the TV serial Breaking Bad, there's never been talent of this magnitude.
On a tragic note, the current occupant in the Oval Office is proving every day that perhaps Darwin's findings were wrong. It's therefore not surprising the aforementioned religious fanatics by and large endorse said occupant.
Charles Darwin revolutionized biology. This makes him well admired but also reviled by people with deep religious feelings.
