Charles Darwin
He made the theory of evolution!
Regardless of claims to the contrary, Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection has never been proven wrong. To the contrary, evidence keeps accumulating to demonstrate how right he was.In later life, Darwin came to believe that his earlier Christian beliefs were wrong, but has provided posterity with no scientific proofs that those religious beliefs had been wrong.
earth, it is believed to have life on it.
Life it ubiquitous on and in the Earth. Earth has been terraformed by the biosphere.
It is unclear to me to what degree Charles Darwin might have been a theist, or rather, a deist. He might have allowed for creationism in some form, where through some intelligent agency the first single celled lifeforms were put on Earth, in the expectation that they would multiply, evolve and produce complexity. But more likely he believed that the first life was the result of natural processes. There's a link below analyzing Darwin's beliefs on the subject. What sources available to me don't tell me is what Darwin believed about the origin of the planet and the universe. He lived in a time where the age of the Earth and the cosmos were still very much in dispute, and no single preferred hypothesis existed to explain their origin. He might have subscribed to something like the Kant Nebular Hypothesis, or he might have speculated along very different lines - if at all.
