Well, depending on whether or not he was born, the world might either be quite different or exactly the same.

How about:

"If any of the great innovators and leaders of the world had not existed would someone have filled their role in history?"

In other words, does society rely on great people or do great people rely on society? The Atlas Shrugged argument.

Not necessarily. What if was never born at all, in this timeline(or whatever you'd call it)? He has an enormous amount of influence as it is, and He doesn't even exist(theoretically).

Woah. There's an interesting one. I guess the internet would be very different, for one (no porn, etc.). Or would there be asexual porn? lol.

What if Augustus never became emperor?

What is Constantine never became a Christian?
1: Rome would never have become great probably.
2: The next one or two would have been. It was enevitable.

BUT! What if he never was? What if it was made up? Since we can't prove either way, it doesn't matter.

That's a strange argument/question. Great people affect society because they have been affected by society... but what is a great person? One working single mom who supports and raises her children, and does it well, is greater than all the self-made millionaires and visionary thinkers in history. There is immense greatness in being ordinary.

See "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula LeGuin

Edit: :confused: Oops... I guess they weren't asexual, just androgynous...
My bad. :rolleyes:
