I would have to say the old stand by Albert Einstein is 10 on scale of one to ten. Then with Niels Bohr at 9.9 and Kurt Godel at 9.8. This is a subjective question of course, because I consider the nature of reality and the universe the most important questions.

Revelation; We saw a great multitude that was saved from (Armageddon), the others were ready for the end of the (world government) and its leader (the) Antichrist and the false prophet. Then out of the mouth of Jesus goes a sharp sword to strike and conquer armies of the Antichirst. He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

I thought of something after reading your post.Originally Posted by clarkatticus
IMHO - History's greatest genius was a man that most of us have probably never heard of, I didn't know his name until I looked him up in Wikipedia.
His name is Louis Reard, and he was a French automotive engineer by profession.
But his genius didn't come from that, it came from another field of endeavor. After WWII, Louis was running his mother's shoe shop in Paris, and he and another designer were involved in a contest to build the world's smallest swimsuit.
Louis designed a simple two-piece swimsuit that was almost obscenely small - in fact, it was so small that he couldn't find a model willing to model it, and had to hire a nude dancer from the Casino de Paris as his model. Louis then named his swimsuit after the site were American nuclear weapons tests were being conducted in the Pacific.
And with that simple stroke of genius, Louis Reard gave society his greatest contribution - the bikini!

I am tempted to nominate Stalin, after reading his biography written by Service. But do evil people deserve to be recognized as smart? I think they should.

“Diary of a Former Communist: Thoughts, Feelings, Reality.” The link is:

This autobiography illustrates my evolution from one extreme to another--from a devoted Stalinist to an active anti-communist. This testimony is based on a diary I kept between 1946 and 2004 (in the USSR, Poland, France and the USA).

Stalin wasn't evil,he was kind and sympathetic.

Interesting choice. Though spandex does have its drawbacks.
