Why did you cut out the religious associations that support Darwin Day and only list the Freethought ones?
Since I am not a fan of YE Creationism your foolish smear does not relate to me. I don't usually agree with Jorge, and I don't agree with his whole post. It is nevertheless true that while Darwin has had an impact on science, that impact is highly exaggerated. And atheism is the major force behind the celebration.
I am not aware of any major (or even minor) celebration aimed at any of the other more important scientists of history. The lack of government support is irrelevant.

The only reason I can see that the other folks you listed don't have similar accolades is that no one thought them important enough to warrant a lobbying effort on their behalf. If it means that much to you then instead of merely griping about them darn atheists why don't you start the ball rolling yourself? I'll sign the petition.
