Darwin's thought changed the world. His influence can not be overstated.

His Magnus Opus, The Origin of The Species, set the foundations of all modern medicine and Biology. Nature seized to be mysterious and in need to be explained away with sophistries, it could now be understood with the tools of science.

His job had of course huge theological implications but also great political and intellectual ones. Darwin in some respects influenced Marx (http://www.jstor.org/pss/2127074)

The notion of Natural Selection is used today in engineering with the use of genetic (adaptive) algorithms to solve very difficult problems.

Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution (evolutionary biologist and Russian Orthodox Christian Theodosius Dobzhansky)

How did Charles Darwin influence Gregor Mendel?

He did not influence Darwin and Darwin did not know who he was. Darwin's ' blending theory of inheritance ' was wrong and though Darwin did not particularly like the theory he could think of nothing better to explain inheritance. There is a legend that Darwin had a copy of Mendel's work in his desk but could not read it because it was in German. Just a legend, though.
