Newton, Darwin, and a modern-day scientist go to heaven.
*
God is at the gate.
"Your research shall determine whether you may enter."
*
Newton goes first.
He hands over Principia.
God reads Newton's description of gravity and smiles.
He waves him through.
*
Darwin goes next.
He hands over Origin of Species.
God scans it. "Bingo! You're in."
*
Finally, our modern-day scientist is up.
God asks for his work.
"Sorry", he says.
"It's paywalled."
