It's ok, I'll do it for you I hope WE get a high pass on OUR homework project.
Archimedes (287-212 B.C.).
Forever to be known for the Archimedean principle: "a body plunged in a fluid loses as much weight as ..."
Boyle, Robert (1627-91):
Robert Boyle was an Anglo-Irish physicist and chemist. Often referred to as the father of modern chemistry. It was Boyle who separated chemistry from alchemy and gave the first precise definitions of a chemical element, a chemical reaction, and chemical analysis. He invented a vacuum pump and used it in the discovery of what has become known as Boyle's law. The principles of Boyle's Law were published in 1662. It goes like this: the volume of a given mass of gas (the temperature being constant) varies inversely as the pressure; or, that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. (On the continent it is known as Mariotte's Law; see Edme Mariotte.)
Darwin, Charles (1809-82):
Darwin struck upon the theory of evolution, viz., that all things, reacting to natural laws that we do not fully understand, have slowly evolved over an unimaginable amount of time, into what they are today. This natural law is a process which Darwin called natural selection. Darwin was to hit on a theory, highly supported by real evidence, which meant that we no longer had to subscribe to the notion that every species had been created, by some unknowable means, whole, and then, to have come through the ages unchanged.
Galileo (1564-1642).
Galileo -- astronomer, mathematician and physicist -- dwelt, not on the useless question, why do things happen? but, how do things happen?

Creationists and intelligent design proponents (the same thing, despite what they claim) try desperately to create the illusion that there is an actual ongoing debate within the scientific community on the merits of creationist versus evolutionary theory. This is not the case. Scientists have managed to accurately predict the positions of fossils in particular layers of rock based on their understanding of evolution. If evolution was not a real science it would be utterly impossible to make predictions with any degree of accuracy. Furthermore, there is quite a bit of confusion surrounding the use of the word theory in a scientific sense. It does not mean guess or estimate, or that the jury is still out, a theory in science is a set of tested principles which explain how something works. So evolution is certainly real science.

darwin came up with the theory of evolution, galileo was an astronomer.
