Isaac Newton.

EDIT: I thought we were talking about actual important people, not religious prophets who may or may not have existed.

would probably say Muhammad on account that Jesus's existence is debated. If he did exist it would probably be a toss up between the two.

Significant in terms of science yes, but did he shape the world? I think not.. (he did through physics in a way?)

Abraham, considering all three monotheistic faiths claim him as their father. I'd also suggest Jesus, Muhammad, Plato, and some others.

He practically invented calculus and discovered one of the most important laws of physics. Say goodbye to the modern world as you know it without him.

I would also throw in Charles Darwin, without whom certain medical progress would not be possible, to say the least.
