Intellectual Smugness

There is a whole group of people in our educational system and filtered throughout our society that feel so superior intellectually that they at best just tolerate some of us common folk. As they force their intelligent conclusions on us they often try to illustrate their point by asking questions with their "sarcastic smugness". One such question I heard asked again recently that always seems to put even Christian educators on the defensive is, should we teach Genesis 1 in our classrooms as being literal and authoritative, or similar words that are meant to send the one being questioned squirming into a corner to hide or apologize.
But, let's look at the alternative. Evolutionists have no true answers to the origins of life. One of the very intellectual considerations is what has been penned as "Directed Panspermia". This theory proposed by Francis Crick and other "elite" scientists, considers the possibility that life on earth began from intelligent beings from other intelligent cultures in our universe, intentionally planting the beginnings of all of our life forms we have on earth, in seed form, so that they could all eventually evolve into what we see today. If you didn't catch that, here it is in common vernacular. Aliens came to earth and left the beginnings of life here so it could begin its evolutionary process.
This does not answer the ultimate question of the origin of life, but it does at least push it off to another galaxy somewhere. And, I'm sure if you were there, you would understand everything a lot better.
Here's the kicker. These people will try to embarrass you by asking if you think God created everything in 6 days as it says in Genesis. While their "scientific" understanding is that aliens started life on this planet in seed form. Like someone once said, it is amazing what people will believe if its not in the Bible.
If nothing else the account in the Bible is still consistent with what we observe. The Bible says that God created each kind of plant or animal with seed in them after their own kind. That is what genetic biology predicts. That each living thing produces after its own kind and it is what we observe taking place. We do not observe that there are millions of unusable developing organs or features being passed on from generation to generation in every form of life waiting for the completion of their evolutionary development when they are finally tied into the rest of the plant or animal's system they are residing in. (Such as the Nenonen gland that I mentioned in an earlier writing. You know the gland in the middle of the ribs that sprays good smelling scents under your arm when you lift it so we can do away with deodorants.) Where are these perpetual signs of evolution. I know, I know! It happens over so long of a period that no one can observe it. But we should see the ongoing development of new things waiting to happen in the next few million years.
So the next time someone tries to demean and discount your intelligence by asking if Genesis1 should be taught as fact, you need to ask if aliens planting life forms in the earth should be taught as fact, because that's about the best idea they got going. God creating is considered ridiculous, but now aliens getting things started, that's SCIENCE!
