Not too Obvious but had great importance… hmmmm….

Some influential names

Fulton Sheen

Stephen Spielberg (His films added a lot to popular culture)

Hillary Clinton

Tony Blair

Pope John Paul 2

Jacques Chirac

Nelson Mandela

Some infamous names that would make people take pause, but bear with me.

Osama Bin Laden (Terrorist leader who changed world history, think of the change in American attitudes since 9-11, and in the Muslim world, where a lot of muslims are angry with his stance, but most Americans feel uncomfortable around Muslims as a result of Bin Laden’s atrocities)

Saddam Hussein (Iraq, the Middle East)

Robert Mugabe (His anti-Western stance changed world history in that he made clear that African leaders are not always pro-Western. His stance on African Union politics. look up AU on Google)

Most of these people are still alive, but a bonus of this is that you can still see world history in the making.

good luck.

Ghengis Khan, Joan Avark, Sigmund Freud, Napoleon, Abraham Lincoln, Socrates, Billy The Kid, Beethoven…

Dr. Marie Curie…discovered radiation…think about how radiation affects cancer patients now a days.. She overcame many obstacles and boundaries since she was a woman-obviously. Back then, women were not allowed to go beyond a certain level of education however she was one of the first women in Europe to get a doctorate degree! She has a very interesting biography

All the obvious ones have been done and over done soooo,

how about Spiro Agnew

or Hubert H. Humphrey

or Hugh Gregg

I think Agnew would be the most of an eye opener….

Benjamin Franklin…Thomas Jefferson…Thomas Edison…Bill Gates

Winston Churchill

Mahatma Ghandi

Joan of Arc

Hey Rowan, I have a couple of theories approximately this that can upload to this dialogue. I welcome all feedback on the grounds that I do not fancy myself an knowledgeable whatsoever. These are simply my ideas. I consider that the Bible is a e-book of miracles. God displays the reality in lots of methods. All God desires is for humans to be grateful. The Bible tells tale after tale approximately methods God displays the reality to humans and the way they react. In many experiences, God says that if I do do that, those humans shall be my humans and I shall be their God (Look it up in a concordance, it occurs plenty!). The humans hold pronouncing matters like end up that you just exist and we will be able to comply with you. God makes hearth devour rainy logs, defies Physics to make the solar stand nonetheless and no longer break all lifestyles, have 3 guys stroll round in a blazing furnace, set one guy in an area with a hungry lion, have one guy swallowed by means of a whale and reside to inform approximately it, and numerous different miracles as evidence of His lifestyles. When you watch or learn Harry Potter, you get swept up within the magic of JK Rowling’s production (pun meant). She writes a satisfactory tale with satisfactory characters and also you droop your disbelief in order that the spells, incantations and potions grow to be truly for a second whilst you witness them. When you stroll away, you understand that you just can not discover a situation like Hogwarts anyplace and no person can morph right into a cat or any of the opposite bizarre and exclusive matters that occur within the tale. The Bible, nevertheless, is a tale written by means of truly humans that inform experiences of the way God converted their lives. None of the humans God selected had been eloquent audio system, such a lot had been deficient and at the edge of society. The disciples Jesus selected had been a motley institution of fishermen, a tax collector and diverse younger humans without a truly course in lifestyles. Most of the humans God referred to as suggestion they had been the mistaken alternative. In such a lot instances, God instructed them to head in which they had to pass and God could deliver them the phrases to talk. Fiction? Maybe it is supposed to sound that manner. Greatest? Yes! True? I consider it….it all. Miracles are supposed to defy the truth we all know. The backside line is that the experiences within the Bible are splendid. If God stored the entire miracles inside the legislation of technology, then by means of this time, we could were in a position to copy any of the experiences we have now learn. Case in factor: the very first thing Moses did in entrance of Pharoah’s courtroom was once to show his running stick right into a snake. The courtroom magicians had been in a position to do the equal factor and so they all laughed at Moses and his God. But while Moses permit God’s actual energy paintings via him, Pharoah was once beaten. If the experiences were not splendid, what could be the factor of believing a 2000 yr historical e-book that’s poorly written?
