Norman Borlaug, the most significant man of the 20th century

Strictly from the point of view of the created order, I would say.

Norman E. Borlaug, the plant scientist who did more than anyone else in the 20th century to teach the world to feed itself and whose work was credited with saving hundreds of millions of lives, died Saturday night. He was 95 and lived in Dallas.

NY Times has an article. He died just over a week ago.
