Pro-Newton scientists argue he led the transition from an era of superstition and dogma to the modern scientific method.

This gets my vote. As I write, this battle is still being waged.

Einstein is like a fine wine that needs to be aged before the full impact of his ideas can be appreciated.

I wonder how long it took for Newton's equations to filter down to real-world discoveries & inventions in a big way? I wonder how long it'll take for the full effects of Einstein's theories to work themselves out in the world?
