How would a astro-physicist consider Galileo? How would any physicist consider Newton? How would a biologist consider Darwin? How would a chemist consider Boyle? They're all fathers of science, who made either the first step or the first big step in the right direction. I'm not going to worship them, but their contributions to our progress as a species in understanding the universe is a big deal.
